How to Draw a Coffee Cart
Draw a coffee cart 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 box.
Step 1: The box
In the middle draw a long deep box with soft corners, a little wider at the top.
Tip Nearly 3 times as wide as it is tall, like a tray.
Step 2: The rim
Start on the left wall a finger under the top. Draw a line straight across to the right wall.
Tip The rim band shows the box has thick wooden sides.
Step 3: The handle
Draw a thin pole slanting up left from the middle of the left wall. Put a short bar on top.
Step 4: Posts and awning
Draw a post up from each end of the box. Join the tops with a flat bumpy-edged awning.
Tip The awning is a little roof to keep the sun off the coffee.
Step 5: Legs and wheels
Draw 2 fat wheels with hubs under the box. Join each hub up to the box with a short leg.
Step 6: Coffee cup
On the box side draw a U cup with a C handle. Add 3 steam wiggles up to the rim.
Tip The cup is a picture painted on the cart. Hot coffee!
Step 7: The ground
Start a little left of the cart. Draw one long straight line under both wheels, stopping past the cart.
Tip Both wheels sit right on the line.
Step 8: Tan box, grey posts
Colour the box tan, going around the cup. Colour the posts, handle, legs and hubs grey.
Step 9: Wood rim, teal awning
Colour the rim band wood brown. Colour the awning teal.
Step 10: Brown coffee, black wheels
Colour a thin brown band at the top of the cup. Colour the wheels black, around the legs and hubs.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a coffee cart, drawn by you.
