Step 1

Make a simple pencil sketch. Remove excess graphite with a kneaded eraser.

Step 2

Let's start with a cup.  Select 4 red markers of various shades: from the lightest to the darkest ones. For example, R93, R92, R91, BR31, and a blue B94. Leave the highlights untouched. 

Step 3

Paint the gingerbread over with the O82 color.  Highlight the surface to make it look uneven; put some dots with a brush nib and a bullet nib.  You can use any light shade, for example, BR64.  Add shadows with O72 and BR20.  

Step 4

Draw the marshmallows with BG54, Y24 and WG6 markers. Leave the lightest areas unpainted. 

Step 5

Draw a wooden stick with the BR14 color; create  a wood texture using BR83. Darken the side part with BR13, BR42, BG32 and WG3 markers.

Step 6

Outline the surface and shadows. Add areas of different sizes using the V14 marker.
