How to Draw a Tricycle
Draw a tricycle in 11 easy steps, about 8 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: big front wheel.
Step 1: Big front wheel
Low on the left of your paper, draw a BIG circle for the front wheel.
Step 2: Tyre, hub, pedal
Draw a smaller circle and hub in the big wheel. From the hub, draw a crank down to a pedal.
Step 3: Fork, clamp, stem
From the hub, draw a fork up past the wheel. Add a clamp, then a short pole above it.
Step 4: Handlebar and grips
On top of the pole, draw a flat handlebar. Add a fat round grip on each end.
Step 5: Frame and back wheel
From the clamp, draw a long bar sloping down to a small back wheel, with a second wheel peeking behind.
Tip The back wheel is less than half as tall as the front wheel.
Step 6: Bell and saddle
Draw a little bell on the handlebar. From the frame, draw a short post up to a fat pill saddle.
Step 7: Streamers
From the end of the right grip, draw 2 thin wavy streamers hanging down and back.
Step 8: Ground line
Draw a straight ground line touching the bottom of both wheels.
Step 9: Yellow and light grey
Colour the saddle and bell yellow. Colour inside each wheel light grey, but not the fork, hubs or pedal.
Step 10: Blue and red
Colour the grips and streamers blue. Colour the pole, clamp, fork, handlebar, frame and saddle post red.
Step 11: Dark grey tyres
Colour the tyres dark grey around the light grey, and the hubs and pedal too. Your tricycle is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a tricycle, drawn by you.
