How to Draw a Riding Mower
Draw a riding 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 hood.
Step 1: The hood
Below the middle, on the left, draw a box a bit wider than tall, with the top left corner rounded.
Tip The hood is the front: the mower drives to the left.
Step 2: The floor
From the back of the hood, draw a long low box going right, lower than the hood top.
Step 3: Two big eyes
On the hood, draw 2 big egg eyes an eye apart. Put a big black dot in each.
Step 4: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes, draw a U smile from eye to eye, and a small oval cheek beside each end.
Step 5: The seat
On the floor, draw an L-shaped seat: a low cushion, then a tall back rest with a round top.
Step 6: Steering wheel
From the back of the hood, draw a short stick slanting up, with a tilted oval wheel on its end.
Step 7: Two wheels
Under the back of the floor, draw a big wheel with a hub circle. Under the hood, a smaller wheel.
Tip The front wheel sits lower so both touch the ground. Add its hub.
Step 8: The mower deck
Between the wheels, under the floor, draw a long low box hanging down: the deck with the blades inside.
Tip The deck is flat and low: its bottom stops just above the grass.
Step 9: Ground and grass
Draw a long ground line under both wheels. Add 3 grass tufts of 3 blades each, away from the wheels.
Step 10: Tyre treads
Around the big wheel, draw 6 short tread lines pointing in from the edge, evenly spaced like a clock.
Step 11: Yellow hubs, pink cheeks
Go over your lines, then colour both hubs yellow and the cheeks pink. Leave the eyes white.
Step 12: Orange body, green grass
Colour the hood, floor and seat orange, around the eyes and cheeks. Colour the grass tufts green.
Step 13: Slate wheels and deck
Colour the tyres slate around the hubs, then the deck, stick and steering wheel. Your mower is ready to mow!
