How to draw a peppermint

In today’s drawing lesson, we will tell you how to draw a peppermint. Every man who has brushed his teeth at least once in his life knows the smell and taste of peppermint.

In fact, our readers very often asked us to show how to draw a mint. For us, this is a whole challenge, since it is a fairly simple subject, and we want to show it in the most understandable way, but at the same time so that it does not look like that old meme with a two-step drawing lesson about an owl.
