Learn how to draw a cup of hot cocoa in this quick and easy video tutorial.
This drawing lesson is the first session in the Winter Wonderland draw and chat series.
The finished mug would look great as door hangers or can be used to personalize mugs for the whole family.

Getting started with digital drawing
If you’ve never ever made a digital drawing, don’t worry. This is not a deep-dive tutorial.
It’s more of a casual drawing session with simple tips for beginner-level designs.
Doesn’t that sound like fun?!
You’ll be able to add this graphic to your holiday decoration ideas to make with your Cricut machine.

Drawing Hot Chocolate
You’ll see how easy it is to draw this hot chocolate.
Of course, we’re going to add some fluffy marshmallows to our drink. After all, no hot cocoa is really complete without them.
We’ll use Inkscape for this drawing. As you listen, you’ll hear that I use lots of shortcuts along the way.
All of the shortcuts that I use in the video are from my Inkscape Ready Set Go! Ebook.
Take a look at what we’ll be drawing in the video below.
