How to Draw a Minivan

Step 1: Nose, bonnet and roof

Start low left. Draw up the front, a short bonnet, a slope up to the roof, and down the back.

Tip A minivan has a little nose and a long flat roof.

Step 2: Floor and bumper

Start low on the front. Draw the floor with 2 rainbow bumps, stopping at the back. Add a bumper.

Tip Now the whole van is one closed shape with 2 wheel holes.

Step 3: Headlight eye and smile

On the front, draw a big circle eye with a black dot. Add a small smile right under it.

Step 4: Tyres and hubcaps

Under each bump, draw a fat tyre a bit smaller than the bump. Add a hubcap and a dot inside.

Tip Both tyres are the same size and their bottoms sit level.

Step 5: Slanted windscreen

A finger in from the bonnet, draw a big leaning window that follows the slope, with a short flat top.

Step 6: Two side windows

Behind the windscreen, draw 2 chunky rounded windows the same height, with a thin post between them.

Tip Two big windows, not lots of little ones.

Step 7: Belt line

Start on the back wall, a finger under the windows. Rule a level line forward and stop under the windscreen.

Step 8: Door and tail light

From the belt line, rule 2 door lines down to the floor. Add a pill handle and a tail light.

Step 9: Roof rails

Start above the windscreen. Draw a thin bar along the roof and stop near the back. Add 2 short legs.

Step 10: The road

Start in front of the bumper. Rule a long road line under both tyres and stop behind the van.

Step 11: Sky windows

Colour the windscreen and both side windows sky blue, leaving a little slanted shine white.

Step 12: Grey rails, yellow light

Colour the roof rails grey and the tail light yellow. The headlight, bumper, handle and hubcaps stay white.

Step 13: Red body, black tyres

Go over your lines. Colour the van red, going around the windows, lights, handle and bumper. Colour the tyres black.
