HERE IS MY TECHNIQUE FOR DRAWING ON A MUG.

WHAT DO YOU NEED ?

Start by choosing a mug that needs customization . For my part, I took an advertising mug that I did not use to draw over their logo. You can also buy a simple mug at any brand that sells houseware.

Feel free to test different media for your mug designs. There are enamelled Personalised Coffee Cups  or porcelain cups.

Remember, you will need a multi-support marker or an indelible black marker . There are also special felts for porcelain.

HOW TO DRAW ON A MUG?

There are 2 solutions to realize your drawing . Either you are comfortable and then draw directly in the felt on your cup, or you can help you with a pencil drawing before using the felt.

Analyze your cup well to position your drawing. The top is that your drawing is centered.
