How to Draw a Pumpkin Spice Latte + Free Printable
Although the weather for most of us is still plenty hot, fall is just around the corner. We’re about to head into a new season, and with it comes all things pumpkin. August 24 is the official return date this year for the Pumpkin Spice Latte, a treat that has become associated with fall almost as much as changing leaves. While I am not personally a fan of the drink (I know, shocking!), it’s a useful little doodle…plus, you can use it for any warm drink you love; apple cider, hot cocoa, peppermint mocha, and more. Here’s how to draw your own:
The To-Go Cup
The basic doodle is a to-go cup, which starts with vertical lines that are closer to each other at the bottom than the top. A curving line connects them at the bottom, and a horizontal line at the top starts the lid. The lid itself is a long thin rectangle with a slightly curving rectangle shape on top. Add two lines across the cup for a cup sleeve if you like, and a little shape on the lid where you sip.
The Pumpkin
To set your doodle apart as a Pumpkin Spice Latte, you can add a little pumpkin on the cup sleeve. This is just an oval with a semi-circle on each side, and a stem. Easy peasy! Color it in any way you like.
The Kawaii Face
Another way to take your doodle to the next level is by adding a cute little face. Black circle eyes with white circles inside, two pink ovals for cheeks, and a simple “u” shaped smile brings your PSL to life and gives it a personality!
This little doodle is perfect for drawing on cards, as well as in journals, planners, and notebooks. You can add it to your hand lettered designs as a fun seasonal accent, or even use it digitally. It makes a great addition to all of your fall artwork!
Like this design? I’ve also made it available as a free printable. There’s a version with the cup, as shown above, but there’s also a version without it so that you can use it as a space to practice and draw your own! That way the finished art will be a collaboration between you and me. Just download your preferred version using the links below and print it out (it’s sized as an 8×10, but you can resize in your favorite photo editor). Then, pop it in a frame and use it in your home to help welcome fall.
