How to Draw an Amphibious Car

13 steps · Medium · about 10 min

Draw an amphibious car in 13 easy steps, about 10 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.

Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: car top.

Step 1: Car top
A hand above the middle, draw one big smooth hill for the car: stubby nose, flat bonnet, round roof.
Step 2: Windscreen
Inside the roof, draw a flat-bottomed rainbow. Near its back, add a line from the curve down to the bottom.
Step 3: Eyes and smile
Inside the windscreen, draw 2 big round eyes, each with a dot and shine, and a U smile below.
Step 4: Two lights
Draw a big round headlight on the nose and a small oval tail light on the back.
Step 5: Door and handle
From the windscreen's back line, draw a door line down, stopping near the bottom. Add a small oval handle.
Step 6: Boat hull
Under the car, draw a boat hull: pointy front, flat back, round bottom. Add a line under its top.
Tip Make the boat wider than the car, so the whole bottom of the car sits inside it.
Step 7: Two wheels
Draw 2 round wheels low on the hull, poking just below the bottom. Add a small circle in each.
Step 8: Propeller
On the back of the hull, draw a stub with a small circle. Add a blade above and below.
Step 9: Waves and ripples
Under the boat, draw wave bumps from edge to edge, touching the hull and wheels. Add 3 ripples below.
Tip The waves touch the hull, so the car floats, not flies.
Step 10: Yellow lights, sky windscreen
Colour the headlight and tail light yellow, and the windscreen sky blue around the eyes. Leave the eyes white.
Step 11: Orange car
Colour the car orange around the windscreen, lights and handle. Stop at the top of the boat.
Step 12: Blue sea
Colour the sea blue from the wave line down to the bottom edge.
Step 13: Grey and black
Colour the hubs, handle and propeller grey, then the tyres black around the hubs. Leave the boat white.
