Illustration｜"Puppy" coffee latte art tutorial

This latte art pattern uses a mix of pouring and drawing techniques, also called pulling, to create a cute puppy with a playful feel.

Latte Art

1. Pour the milk from a high place to make the cream of the coffee rise and make the texture smooth.

2. Lower the height of the milk pour to make it as close to the coffee as possible, and try to draw a white dot on the left side of the coffee cup.

3. Start pouring out the shape of smoke, as if drawing an unfinished rose. Use a milk jug to pour milk back and forth on the left side of the coffee cup, drawing a wave pattern vertically along the edge of the cup.

4. After drawing the smoke shape, pour in the milk just as quickly, and then use the milk jug to pour the milk back and forth along the right edge of the coffee cup.

5. When you reach the other side of the coffee cup, drag the milk jug to the right to pour the milk evenly. When it reaches the middle of the cup, stop dragging the milk jug and let the milk flow out in a large circle from the middle of the coffee cup for 2-3 seconds. The purpose is to create the white part of the puppy's face, and then lift the milk jug.

6. Start pouring the milk again. In order to create a richer face for the puppy, make sure the second white dot is in the middle of the first white dot.

7. The last part is the most enjoyable one because you will use iron sheets to draw the nose, eyes and whiskers of the puppy in the coffee cup.

Precautions

For this pattern, you need to shake the milk jug slowly, control the flow of milk evenly and try to lower the jug to the lowest position.
