How to Draw a Lawn Mower
Draw a lawn mower in 13 easy steps, about 10 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 deck.
Step 1: The deck
Below the middle, draw a long low dome with a flat bottom, 4 times as wide as it is tall.
Tip Keep it low: a mower hugs the grass.
Step 2: Two small wheels
At each end of the deck, draw a small wheel over the bottom edge. Add a hub circle in each.
Step 3: The engine
On the middle of the deck, draw a short engine block with soft corners, half as wide as the deck.
Step 4: The handle
Start at the back of the deck. Draw a long pole slanting up to the right, far above the engine.
Step 5: The grip bar
Across the top end of the pole, draw a short fat bar for your hands to hold.
Step 6: The cap
On top of the engine, near the front, draw a small cap with a flat top.
Step 7: Pull cord
Start at the back of the engine, draw a cord and stop on the pole. Add a little grip there.
Step 8: The ground
Start left of the front wheel. Draw a straight line under both wheels and stop past the handle.
Step 9: Grass tufts
On the ground behind the mower, draw 2 little tufts of 3 soft grass blades, away from the wheels.
Step 10: Green grass
Colour the grass tufts green.
Step 11: Red deck
Colour the deck red.
Step 12: Slate engine and handle
Colour the engine and the long pole slate grey.
Step 13: Black wheels
Go over your lines. Colour the hubs grey, the wheels black around them, and the cap and both grips black.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a lawn mower, drawn by you.
