How to Draw a Bumper Car
Draw a bumper car in 11 easy steps, about 8 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: tub with a cockpit.
Step 1: Tub with a cockpit
Across the middle draw a bathtub body with a square bite out of the top for the cockpit.
Tip The back hump is the tallest part.
Step 2: Rubber bumper ring
Round the bottom of the tub draw one long fat pill, like a sausage, sticking out past both ends.
Tip The ring is the bouncy rubber bumper.
Step 3: Big headlight eye
On the bonnet, near the nose, draw a big round headlight eye. Add a black dot and 2 white shines.
Step 4: Seat and steering wheel
In the cockpit draw a small seat back. From the floor draw a stick up to a round steering wheel.
Step 5: Smile and cheek
Start under the eye. Draw a bold U smile curling up, stopping before the nose. Add a round cheek behind.
Tip Leave a finger of yellow between the eye and the smile.
Step 6: Pole and sparks
From the top of the back hump draw a thin pole slanting up and back. Add a pad and sparks.
Tip The pole touches the electric ceiling: that makes it go!
Step 7: Number on the side
On the back hump, under the pole, draw a round circle with a big fat number 1 inside.
Step 8: Little wheels and floor
Under the ring draw 2 small wheels poking out, one near each end. Rule a floor line touching both.
Step 9: Yellow car
Go over your lines. Colour the tub yellow and the cheek pink. Leave the headlight and number white.
Tip Keep the eye white.
Step 10: Red seat, grey pole
Colour the seat red. Colour the pole, its pad and the steering wheel grey.
Step 11: Black ring and wheels
Colour the rubber ring black and the little wheels dark grey. Ready to bump!
