Santa warming up with a big mug of hot cocoa
A big round Santa sits with a steaming mug of hot chocolate held in both hands, his beard spilling over the top of it and his boots planted wide. It is all thick lines and big areas, an easy page for small children that still feels like a proper picture. Chocolate was a drink long before it was a sweet: the Maya and the Aztecs drank cocoa, unsweetened and often spiced with chilli. The sleeping Santa is what usually happens after the mug.
How to color Santa warming up with a big mug of hot cocoa
- A brown for the cocoa and a bright color for the mug.
- Red for the suit and white for the fur and the beard.
