How to Draw a Mug of Apple Cider · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: Mug and slice bump
Draw a big rounded square for the mug, with a flat top and soft, curvy corners at the bottom. On the left end of the top, draw a small half circle that sits on the edge like a little rainbow.
Step 3: The handle
On the right side of the mug, draw a big letter C lying on its back, starting and ending on the mug. Then draw a smaller C inside it.
Step 4: The happy face
Draw two small round dots for eyes in the middle of the mug. Between them, a bit lower, draw a little curved smile like a tiny bowl.
Step 5: Fruit slice inside
Inside the half circle on the left of the top, draw a smaller half circle. Add one tiny dot in the middle to finish the fruit slice.
Step 6: The cinnamon stick
On the right side of the top, draw a long, thin, slanted stick that pokes up out of the mug. Draw two lines side by side and round off the top so the stick looks fat.
Step 7: The steam
Above the mug, between the fruit slice and the stick, draw three wiggly, wavy lines that float upward like squiggly snakes. Make them about the same height.
Step 8: The apple
Next to the mug on the left, draw a round, slightly squished circle for the apple. Make a small dip at the top and a little notch at the bottom. Add a pointy leaf at the top.
Step 9: Stem and shine
Draw a short stem in the dip at the top of the apple, next to the leaf. Add a short curved line on the left side of the apple to make it look shiny.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a mug of apple cider
- Draw the mug first and leave space on the right for the handle. If the handle is too small, the mug looks lopsided.
- For the steam, make a gentle S shape and then repeat it. Try to keep all three wiggles about the same size.
- Start the cinnamon stick at the top edge of the mug and draw it slanting up and out. Keep the two lines side by side so the stick stays the same width.
