Here’s the final coffee cup drawing for people who don’t wanna read the whole thing:

Step 1: Draw a Rounded Square

Just like all my other tutorials, it’s important to break the drawing down into simple shapes.

Which is why…

Step one of drawing a coffee cup is to draw a rounded square. I can’t talk about simple shapes without mentioning my how to draw a cube tutorial.

Step 2: Draw the Coffee

Draw an oval at the top of the rounded square. This is the hole in the top of the coffee cup. (Where the coffee goes)

Step 3: Draw the Handle of the Coffee Cup

This is always the hardest part of drawing the coffee cup for me. The best way to make a handle is to draw a backwards “C.” You can add the other lines to make it look more 3D but you don’t have to.

Step 4: Draw the Details

Scratch the coffee cup up. Make it look old and used. I even put a chip in the lip of my cup.

Bonus Step: Color and Shade the Coffee Cup

Coffee is brown and the cup can be whatever color you want. A lot of the time coffee cups have logos or lame slogans, so add one of those if you want too.
