How to Draw a Paver

Step 1: The engine deck

In the middle, draw a long low box with soft corners, more than twice as long as tall.

Tip A paver is a long low machine that lays new black road.

Step 2: Big headlight eye

Near the front of the deck draw a big round headlight. Colour a round pupil in it, leaving a shine.

Step 3: Smile and cheek

Under the eye draw a short U smile curling up toward the front. Add a round cheek behind the eye.

Step 4: The hopper bin

In front of the deck draw a bin with a slanted front, lower than the deck. Add a lip line.

Step 5: Asphalt heap

Start on the bin's front rim. Draw a bumpy heap over the bin, stopping at the deck.

Tip The bin carries hot asphalt, the black stuff roads are made of.

Step 6: Crawler track

Under the deck draw a long pill shape with round ends, as long as the deck.

Step 7: Track wheels

Inside the track draw 4 wheels in a row. Add a small hub in the middle of each.

Step 8: Driver's seat

Start on the deck top, draw an L-shaped seat, stop on the deck. Add a steering wheel on a post.

Step 9: Roof on posts

High above the seat draw a long flat roof. From under its ends draw 2 posts down to the deck.

Step 10: The flat plate

Behind the track draw a wide flat plate lying low. Join it to the deck with a slanted bar.

Tip The plate drags behind and presses the asphalt flat.

Step 11: Asphalt and road

Under the plate draw a thick asphalt strip to the right edge. Draw a road line from the left.

Step 12: Yellow machine

Go over your lines. Colour the deck, bin, seat and roof yellow and the cheek pink. Leave the eye white.

Step 13: Grey track and plate

Colour the track dark grey and its wheels light grey. Colour the plate, its bar and the steering wheel grey.

Step 14: Black asphalt

Colour the heap in the bin and the strip behind the plate black. Your paver is done!
