Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Sketching the Lid

Pencil sketch of a rounded plastic cup lid with a small oval opening for a straw.

Draw a wide, gentle curve to form the top of the lid. Add a small oval near the top to represent the straw opening. Teacher's Tip: Keep your wrist loose to get that smooth, rounded shape.

Step 2: Defining the Lid Base

Adding detail to the cup lid base with wavy lines and small vertical ovals.

Draw wavy lines under the lid to show the rim, then connect them with a curved line. Add small vertical ovals around the base for texture. Tip: These little ovals create the look of a ridged plastic cup rim.

Step 3: Adding Whipped Cream

Drawing fluffy whipped cream topping using overlapping curved lines.

Use overlapping, cloud-like curved lines inside the lid to create the whipped cream topping. Tip: Don't worry about making it perfect; whipped cream is naturally messy and fluffy!

Step 4: Drawing the Straw

Adding a straw sticking out of the top of the Frappuccino lid.

Draw two parallel lines extending upward from the lid opening, connected by a small curve at the top. Tip: Use a ruler if you struggle with straight lines, but freehand gives it a more natural, cartoon look.

Step 5: Shaping the Cup

Draw the sides of the cup using long, slightly inward-curving lines. Add a large circle in the center for the logo. Tip: Make sure the cup is symmetrical by checking the distance from the center line on both sides.

Step 6: The Mermaid Crown

Inside the circle, sketch the mermaid's crown using short, pointed lines. Add a small star in the center. Tip: Focus on the points of the crown to make it look sharp and detailed.

Step 7: Drawing the Face

Sketch the mermaid's face using simple, curved lines for the eyes, nose, and mouth. Tip: Keep the features small and centered to maintain the iconic look of the logo.

Step 8: Adding Hair and Body

Sketching the mermaid's flowing hair and body shape.

Use flowing, curved lines to draw the mermaid's hair and body. Tip: Think of the hair as two large waves framing the face.

Step 9: Completing the Logo

Add the final details to the logo, including the tail fins on either side. Tip: The 'Y' shapes for the fins should be symmetrical to balance the design.

Step 10: Coloring Your Frappuccino
