How to Draw a Combine Harvester
Draw a combine harvester in 12 easy steps, about 9 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: cab and tall body.
Step 1: Cab and tall body
Left of the middle, draw a short front wall, a slanted windscreen up to a cab roof, then a box.
Tip The cab roof is the highest part.
Step 2: Big wheel, small wheel
Under the cab, draw a giant front tyre. Under the back, draw a much smaller tyre. Add hubs with dots.
Tip On a combine the big wheels are at the front!
Step 3: Big headlight eye
On the front wall under the cab, draw a big round headlight. Add a black dot with 2 white shines.
Step 4: Smile and cheek
Under the eye, draw a short U smile curling up toward the front. Add a small oval cheek behind.
Step 5: Cab windows and shine
Draw a cab window, a pillar from top down to bottom, and 2 slanted shines in the front pane.
Step 6: Wide low header
Low in front of the body, draw a long scoop with a slanted front. Add a line along the bottom.
Tip The header is the wide mouth that eats the wheat.
Step 7: The reel
Above the header, draw a round reel with 3 bars through it, and an arm to the front wall.
Step 8: Auger and vents
From the box top behind the cab, draw a long fat tube slanting up and back. Add 3 vent lines.
Step 9: Tyre treads and road
Around the big tyre, draw short lines pointing in from the edge, like clock marks. Add a road line.
Step 10: Yellow hubs, sky windows
Go over your lines. Colour the hubs and reel yellow, and the windows sky blue.
Step 11: Pink cheek, grey auger
Colour the cheek pink and the auger tube grey. Leave the headlight eye white.
Step 12: Red body, dark tyres
Colour the combine red around the windows, eye and cheek, and the tyres dark grey around the hubs.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a combine harvester, drawn by you.
