Summer is a great time to enjoy a yummy milkshake, and drawing one can be just as fun! Let’s learn how to draw a milkshake together. Grab your pencils and paper, and let’s get started!
First, let’s draw the top of the milkshake cup. Make two dots across from each other at the top of your paper. These dots should be at the same height but far enough apart to fit a straw. Then, make two more dots closer together at the bottom, between the first two dots. Connect these dots with curved lines to make the sides of the cup. Leave the top open for the whipped cream!
Now, let’s shape the bottom of the glass. Draw two curves going down from the top dots and connect them with a curved line at the bottom. This will make your cup look nice and round.
Time to make your milkshake cup special! Put a dot in the center of the glass, then add two more dots on each side. Connect these dots with big rainbow lines to create a fun design. Draw a line straight down from the middle dot to the bottom of the cup. For the side designs, curve the lines to match the glass shape.
Inside the cup, draw a U-shape to show where the milkshake will be.
Now, let’s add some whipped cream! Draw a line across the top of the glass, stopping halfway to let the whipped cream overflow. Use cloud-like lines to show the whipped cream spilling over. Add a cherry on top by drawing a big circle with an open bottom and a small curve for the stem.
No milkshake is complete without a straw! Draw two parallel lines coming out of the milkshake, like railroad tracks. Connect the top of the straw and add some stripes for detail.
Now that your milkshake is drawn, let’s add some color! You can use pink for a strawberry milkshake, tan for graham cracker sprinkles, and red for the cherry. Use any colors you like to make your milkshake unique and fun!
Great job! You’ve drawn a delicious-looking milkshake. Remember, you can be as creative as you want—add extra decorations like chocolate bars or sprinkles. We hope you had fun drawing with us, and we can’t wait to see your amazing milkshake art!
Milkshake Observation Walk: Take a walk around your kitchen or a nearby café with an adult and observe different types of cups and glasses. Notice their shapes, sizes, and designs. Can you find a cup that looks like the one you drew? What makes each cup unique? Draw your favorite cup when you get back home and add your own special design to it!
Build a Milkshake Model: Use playdough or modeling clay to create a 3D model of your milkshake drawing. Shape the cup, add whipped cream, and don’t forget the straw! You can even use small beads or buttons as toppings. Share your model with your family and explain the steps you took to create it, just like in your drawing lesson.
Color Experiment: Gather some colored pencils or crayons and experiment with different color combinations for your milkshake. Try making a chocolate milkshake, a blueberry one, or even a rainbow milkshake! How do the colors change the way your milkshake looks? Which color combination do you like the best and why?
