ORIGINAL DRAWING LESSON

Cocoa Mug

Creating a drawing of a cozy mug with marshmallows is a meditative and soulful process. Start with a light sketch, outlining the base with an arc and the rim with an oval, and then breathe life into the shape by filling it with smooth lines and soft contours. Bring the mug to life by giving it a cute expression, and complete the magic with a play of light and shadow to add warmth and volume to the drawing.
