How to Draw a Car Wheel
Draw a car wheel in 10 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: the tyre.
Step 1: The tyre
In the middle of your paper draw one BIG circle, almost as wide as the page.
Tip Go round lightly twice to get it smooth.
Step 2: The rim
Draw a second circle inside the big one, 2 fingers in. The fat ring between them is the tyre.
Step 3: Hub cap
Right in the middle draw a small circle for the hub cap.
Step 4: Five bolts
Inside the hub cap draw 5 tiny circles in a ring, evenly spaced. Those are the bolts.
Step 5: Top spokes
From the hub cap draw a spoke up to the rim: 2 close lines. Add one up-left and one up-right.
Step 6: Bottom spokes
Start at the hub cap and draw the last 2 spokes down to the rim, down-left and down-right.
Tip Space all 5 spokes evenly, like a star.
Step 7: The ground
Start at the left side and draw a straight ground line across to the right, touching the tyre.
Step 8: Grey rim
Colour the rim and the spokes grey. Colour the 5 little bolts grey too.
Step 9: Dark tyre
Colour the fat tyre dark grey, all the way round.
Step 10: Black hub cap
Colour the hub cap black around the grey bolts. Your car wheel is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a car wheel, drawn by you.
