Second pic is what im going for. I tried cold and warm sauce and when i try to draw with a toothpick it wont even transfer to the foam from the toothpick, it stays on the toothpick. And then i tried pour it straight from the sauce container and they eyes sank after few seconds

Maybe you could thicken you froth, or usesugar free
Try using sugar free or thickening froth
i’ve done this sort of effect before using basically a paste of chocolate power and water/milk, and the end of a tea spoon. works pretty well!

if you want to use chocolate sauce, it also might help to use the end of a teaspoon/other tool and run it under hot water for a few seconds to help the sauce transfer 🙂
ours does this unless we leave the drink to sit for 20-30 seconds, worth a try! but might be dependent on drink and brand of sauce
Your foam needs to be light enough in density that it sits on top of the milk. Thats how foam/latte art is possible.
Your chocolate sauce needs to be as light in density as possible for the best results to sit on top of the foam. Try diliting rhe chocolate sauce you use with a little bit of hot water to thin it out. Then try dripping it on top.
I know im ignoring surface tension in my explanation. But, simply reducing the chocolate sauces density should help regardless.
You’re putting it on too heavy- really light lines work best. I use a clay carving tool and warm up my chocolate sauce.

Maybe just a thought, the other picture looks much more reddish brown on top. Is it possible that the espresso crema is denser and will hold the chocolate more firmly than frothy milk? I don’t know, just speculating.
Not sure if you tried this but let the drink sit for a minute or so! I do that with caramel drizzle on drinks, which resulted with customers specifically looking for me to make their drink when they order that. I’m guessing it sits on top nicely. Not sure for how long since I put a lid on it after but it definitely makes a difference, if I don’t the caramel falls after a few seconds too. I’m not sure if it keeps well enough for aesthetic purposes but it could help
