How to Draw a Car Carrier

Step 1: Nose, cab and frame

Start low on the left. Go up round a stubby nose, over a tall cab, then flat back. Stop low.

Tip The hood is short. The frame is a thin flat shelf.

Step 2: Belly and tyres

Start where you stopped. Draw an arch, a flat belly, and another arch, ending at the nose. Add 2 tyres.

Tip Leave a little air between each arch and its tyre.

Step 3: Eye, smile, bumper

On the hood, draw a big round headlight eye with a pupil. Add a U smile, a cheek and bumper.

Step 4: Deck and ramp

Behind the cab, draw a long thin plank deck going back almost to the edge. Add a tall bar.

Step 5: Window and pillar

Inside the cab draw a big window shape. Add a pillar line from top down to bottom and a shine.

Step 6: Trailer tyre

Under the back of the deck, draw a low flat mudguard. Under it, draw a third fat tyre.

Step 7: Two little cars

On the deck draw 2 little cars. Each is a hump with a window and 2 round black wheels.

Tip The wheels sit right on the deck.

Step 8: Stack, handle, road

Add a chimney behind the cab and a door handle. Rule a road from the bumper, ending at the ramp.

Step 9: Red cab

Go over your lines. Colour the cab and frame red, and the cheek pink. Leave the windows and headlight white.

Step 10: Black tyres

Colour all 3 tyres black. Colour the hubs grey with a black dot in the middle.

Step 11: Grey deck and bits

Colour the deck, ramp and mudguard grey. Colour the bumper, handle and stack grey too.

Step 12: Sky windows, yellow light

Colour all 3 windows sky blue, leaving the shine white. Colour the headlight yellow, keeping the pupil black.

Step 13: Blue and yellow cars

Colour the front little car blue and the back one yellow, going around their windows and wheels.
