How to Draw a Treadmill
Draw a treadmill 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: console screen.
Step 1: Console screen
In the top right draw a box with soft corners, wider than tall, for the console screen.
Step 2: 2 big eyes
On the screen draw 2 big egg eyes, one eye apart. Colour a black dot in each, leaving a shine.
Step 3: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a wide U smile, eye to eye, and a small flat oval cheek beside each eye.
Step 4: The upright
From under the screen draw 1 post slanting down to the left, fatter at the bottom. Stop above the ground.
Step 5: Belt deck
Along the ground draw a long low deck with rounded ends, from the left across to under the screen.
Step 6: Motor hood
At the right end of the deck draw a rounded hump, like a low hill, for the motor hood.
Step 7: The handrail
From the post under the screen draw a level handrail out to the left, ending in a rounded grip.
Step 8: Belt stripes
Draw 5 short slanted lines across the belt, spaced apart, stopping well before the hood.
Step 9: Ground line
Draw a straight ground line under the deck, from near the left edge across to near the right edge.
Step 10: Sparkles
Draw a few little 4-point sparkles around it to make it shine.
Step 11: Pink cheeks, sky screen
Go over your lines. Colour the cheeks pink, then the screen sky blue around the face, leaving the eyes white.
Step 12: Yellow sparkles, red hood
Colour the sparkles yellow and the motor hood red.
Step 13: Slate machine
Colour the deck, the post and the handrail slate grey. Your treadmill is ready to run!
