All you need to do is to prepare the following materials:
Acrylic paint
Tube bottles with small tips for lettering (e.g: empty glue bottles)
"Blank:" mugs (mugs without any prints or plainly colored mugs is more appropriate)
Marker and some tissues
1. Make sure that the mug is dry and dust-free and oil free.
2. Sketch your desired design using a marker
3. Fill in paint in the bottles with small tube openings
4. Slightly tilt the tip of the tube bottle and squeeze bottle lightly. If you have made mistakes; wipe it with a damped tissue as soon as possible before the paint gets dry and stain permanently
5. Finish your design then leave in somewhere warm; probably inside a brick oven or under the sun for quick drying.
Skills are also preferred when making mugs. I have made a lot during high schools and sell them along with home made button pins with their favorite icons, character design and such. These mugs are better for giveaways and personalize gifts. usually I sell them for $1 to $3 depending on how complicated designs is.
Hope it helps you make more money. Happy mylotting ^___^-)

That's a really nifty idea. I'd love to have the skill to do something like that, but sadly outside of the realm of digital art I have no skills once so ever. And my digital skills outside of animals, mostly canines isn't anything to brag about (I made my tag) But I think it's really cool you're able to make money that way! Best Wishes!
