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!

How To Draw A Truck How to draw a truck using simple shapes

A truck is easy to draw using lines rectangles squares and circles. In each of the steps below the part of the picture you need to draw is shaded with a colour – but don’t colour in your own picture until you have finished drawing it. You will need a rubber and a black pencil

Using a pencil or pen draw a horizontal line as shown above. Put a rectangle on top of the line as shown to make the body of the truck.

Draw two vertical lines – make one the same height as our rectangle and the other half as tall.

Add three more lines to make a kind of step shape as shown. Now your truck has a cabin.

Along the bottom of your truck draw a long thin rectangle with three semi-circles cut out of it – one semi-circle should be under the cabin and two under the body.

Now draw a circle under each of the wheel arches to make the wheels.

Draw a smaller circle inside each of the big circles to make hubcaps.

Draw a square in the truck’s cabin to make a window.

You can colour in your truck however you want. You’ll be finished in a flash!

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

Now let’s draw a cement mixer truck. The trickiest part is the cement mixer itself on the back of the truck.

It looks a bit like a diamond or an ice-cream cone lying down.

Start with three circles joined together by a straight line. Draw a cab with a sloping bonnet. Then starting above the middle wheel draw an eight-sided shape as shown – the sides are all different lengths.

Use this picture to help you add some more details to our cement mixer then colour it in.

Now try a pencil sketch of a cement mixer.

Draw a rough outline of your cement mixer first. When you are shading take a break every now and then so you can study your picture to see which parts need more work.

Try drawing pencil lines in one direction first then in another direction for the next layer

Once you have mastered drawing a small truck  turning this into a bigger truck is easy. You need to stretch the truck’s body and make the cabin short and stubby.

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

Draw a longer line than the one you started for the small truck and put a longer rectangle on top of it.

Give the body of your truck some extra wheels then follow the steps below to draw the cabin.

You could colour in your truck like this.

How about turning your simple truck design into a shiny tanker?

Add the wheels then colour in /our tanker so it’s ready to speed off the page.

A digger looks like it could grab anything with its pincers – just like a crab.

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

Make a tyre by drawing a shape that looks like a squashed ring.

Draw a box shape to make the dipper’s cabin.

Add two curved lines as shown to make a second tyre.

Draw the digger’s arm in three sections – start with the section that’s attached to the cabin. Make the next section smaller and the third one smaller still.

Now add the pincers – imagine you are drawing a crab’s claw or Captain Hook’s hook Lastly draw a square on the cabin to make a window.

Add a bit of colour and your finished digger is ready for action

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

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

Draw two circles for wheels. Copy the cab and body you can see in the picture above. To make the sky lift sit a triangle on top of the body then add two diagonal lines. Draw a square dangling from the top.

Add some more details  – don’t forget the windows. Now colour in your picture – red of course!

Now draw the outline of your fire engine again in pencil. Make the lines very light at first – if you aren’t happy with the shape you can rub out the lines without leaving too many marks. Now add some shading.
