Tag: How to Draw for Kids

Drawing a modern train is a bit like drawing a truck. It’s made up of lots of rectangles and circles.

Let’s start with an ordinary passenger train then look at how we can turn this into lots of different types of train.

You will need a piece of paper a rubber a black pen and a pencil.

Draw a long rectangle. Now draw three pairs of circles along the bottom to make wheels.

Put a smaller circle inside each of the circles you’ve already drawn. Add some little rectangles to make windows and doors.

Your train won’t be going anywhere without the driver’s carnage. This time instead of drawing a rectangle draw a more curvy shape like this one.

Let’s whizz on to drawing high-speed trains.

Trains carry all kinds of loads in different types of containers – here are some you could draw.

Draw a giant sausage to make a cylinder shaped tank.

Pile lots of thin rectangles on top of each other to make planks of timber.

The straps holding them on look like long skinny fingers.

Draw a curvy line above a rectangle to make a heap of gravel – add lots

of tiny circles for the little stones.

Draw patterns on a rectangle like this to turn a carriage into a food container

Make a mail truck by drawing an envelope and a stamp on your rectangle instead.

To draw a busy train put some people in the windows – draw stick people if you want.

Colour in all your trains before the guard blows the whistle

Now that you know how to draw a truck from the side it’s time to learn how to draw one that’s driving straight at you! Remember that the colours I’ve used here are just to show you which piece to draw – don’t colour in your picture until the end.

Start by drawing a hexagon as shown – make sure it has six sides.

Put a sausage shape along the bottom to make a bumper

Draw a curvy shape around your hexagon – it will look a bit like an armchair but it’s really the bonnet.

On top of the bonnet draw a kind of flat-topped hill. Then draw two brick shapes under the bumper.

Put a smaller flat-topped hill inside the bigger one to make the windscreen. Draw a horizontal line just above this to make a roof.

Use circles and semi-circles to make lights as shown. Put a smaller hexagon inside the big one and draw lots of fines across it to make an engine grill.

Now add five rectangles – two for wing mirrors two for head beams and one to make a licence plate.

I’ve coloured in my truck to make it look like a fire engine –  COMING THROUGH!

So far we’ve been drawing objects from the side or face on. But what about drawing an object from an angle? Let’s take the tractor you learnt to draw earlier. This time you’ll need to show both front wheels not just one.

You will need a piece of paper a rubber a black pen and a pencil.

Draw three circles to make wheels. Look carefully at the position and size of each of the circles.

Now draw a curved line in each of your circles to give your wheels their 3D shape

To make the hubcaps draw a smaller circle inside each wheel.

Next draw the body of the tractor. To start try drawing a vertical line from top to bottom in between two of the wheels as shown above.

Draw two lines to connect the front wheels. Now draw the bonnet above the lines as shown on the left. This is the hardest part so it might take a few attempts to get it right.

The Tractor tyres need good tread -you can make this by drawing lots of little sausages! When you’ve done that add a circle and a curved line to two of the wheels as shown.

To finish off add some windows and a black rectangle for an engine grill.

Then colour in your farmyard masterpiece.

Now let’s draw a tractor. In each of the steps below the part of the picture you need to draw is shaded blue – but don’t colour in your own picture until the end.

You will need a piece of paper a rubber a black pen and a pencil.

Draw two different-size circles side by side to make wheels.

Copy the picture below to draw the body of your tractor – try drawing a straight line to join the wheels first.

Draw a circle inside each of the wheels. Now you’ve made some tyres.

Draw a much smaller circle in the middle of each wheel. Then draw lots of curved fines around the edge of each tyre to make the tread.

Look at the picture above. Carefully copy all the lines drawn to make the windows and

door. Add stripes to the bonnet too.

You could add a few more details to your picture before you colour it in. Don’t forget the cylinder-shaped exhaust pipe – it sticks up out of the bonnet.

How To Draw A Tractor

Drawing is often exploratory, with considerable emphasis on observation, problem-solving, and composition.With tractors it is is a form of visual expression and is one of the major forms within the visual arts. Learning to draw is the single most accessible form of art available. Drawing is a skill that everyone can learn.How to draw a tractor could be thought of as a process, not a talent. Drawing may be done with a liquid medium, applied with brushes or pens and  is generally concerned with the marking of lines and areas of tone onto paper. Drawing is also regularly used in preparation for a painting, further blurring their distinction. Drawing a tractor has never been so easy.
