How to Draw a Matcha Latte · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch these 2 ovals. They only show where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase them at the end.
Step 2: Cup top and sides
Draw a wide, gently curved line for the top of the cup. From its left and right ends, draw two sides that go down and curve inward, leaving the bottom open.
Step 3: Front rim and bottom
Draw a curved line across the cup from one side to the other, just below the top. Then draw a rounded curve at the bottom that joins the two sides, like a smile.
Step 4: The drink oval
Inside the top of the cup, draw a smaller oval ring that does not touch the rim. This is the green drink.
Step 5: The foam heart
In the middle of the drink oval, draw a small heart with two bumps on top and a point at the bottom.
Step 6: The handle
On the right side of the cup, draw a curved C shape that starts and ends on the cup. Add a smaller curve inside it to make the handle look thick.
Step 7: The saucer
Under the cup, draw a wide, flat oval. Let its top edge meet the cup near the bottom so the cup sits on it.
Step 8: Eyes and smile
Draw two small dots for eyes, side by side in the middle of the cup. Then draw a small curved smile below and between them.
Step 9: Cheeks and leaf
Draw a small oval on each side of the smile for cheeks. Then draw a pointed leaf shape above and to the right of the cup, with a curved line down its middle.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a matcha latte
- Draw the top of the cup wide and gently curved, so it looks like an opening you can look into.
- Make the two sides of the cup curve in toward the bottom, like a bowl. Draw lightly first, then go over the line you like best.
- Place the face low on the cup, near the round bottom. Keep the eyes and cheeks the same size on both sides.
