How to Draw a Concrete Pump Truck

Step 1: Cab and long back

Start low at the front. Draw over a round cab and along a long low back. Stop at the end.

Tip The cab is small and round. The back is long and low.

Step 2: Big window

Inside the cab, a finger from the edge, draw a big window that follows the round corner.

Step 3: Eyes and smile

In the window draw 2 big round eyes with a black dot and a shine. Add a smile under them.

Step 4: Floor and wheel bumps

Start at the front. Draw the floor with 1 rainbow bump, then 2 side by side. Stop at the back.

Tip The 2 back bumps touch in the middle.

Step 5: Tyres and road

Under each bump draw a big tyre with a small hubcap. Draw a flat road under all 3 tyres.

Step 6: Bumper and tail light

In the bottom front corner draw a little bumper box. Add a small tail light on the back.

Step 7: The turret

Near the back draw a tall box standing on the low back, its top just above the cab roof.

Step 8: Bottom boom bar

From the turret top draw a long bar forward, just above the cab roof, ending over the front.

Step 9: Zigzag folds

Add a round joint at the front end. Draw a bar back to a joint, then a shorter bar forward.

Tip The boom folds like a Z, lying flat on top of the truck.

Step 10: The hopper

Behind the turret draw a bucket shape standing on the back, wide at the top.

Tip Wet concrete is poured into the hopper.

Step 11: Sky window, yellow joints

Go over your lines. Colour the window sky blue and the joints and tail light yellow. Leave the eyes white.

Step 12: Cream truck, grey parts

Colour the truck cream, around the window and tail light. Colour the bumper and hopper grey.

Step 13: Red boom, black tyres

Colour the turret and 3 boom bars red, around the yellow joints. Colour the tyres black, leaving the hubcaps white.
