How to Draw a Wheelchair Basketball
Draw a wheelchair basketball in 14 easy steps, about 11 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: egg head.
Step 1: Egg head
Near the top, left of the middle, draw an egg head with a slightly narrower chin.
Tip Leave room on the right for the ball and the hoop.
Step 2: Happy face
On the right half of the head draw 2 oval eyes with black dots looking up. Add a smile.
Tip The face sits to the right because the player is looking at the hoop.
Step 3: Short hair
Draw hair over the top of the head and down the back. Add a hairline above the eyes.
Tip Rub out the head line inside the hair.
Step 4: The body
Under the head draw a bean body with a flat bottom. Add a short sleeve pointing forward.
Step 5: Bent leg, 2 shoes
Draw a leg that goes forward from the body, then bends down at the knee. Add 2 shoes.
Tip Only the toe of the far shoe shows.
Step 6: Seat and footrest
Draw a thin seat under the leg, a short backrest behind the body and a flat footrest under the shoes.
Tip A sports chair has a low back and no armrests.
Step 7: Big leaning wheel
Under the seat draw a big oval wheel, tipped a little. Draw a smaller ring inside. Add a floor line.
Tip Sports chair wheels lean in at the top. The inner ring is the push rim.
Step 8: Spokes, little wheel
Draw a hub and 6 spokes in the big wheel. Add a post down to a little front wheel.
Step 9: Shooting arm
From the sleeve draw an arm going forward, then bending up at the elbow. End it in a mitten hand.
Tip Make the arm a little thinner at the wrist.
Step 10: Ball and far hand
Draw a round ball on the hand with 2 curved lines across it. Add the other arm peeking out behind.
Tip The far hand holds the other side of the ball.
Step 11: The hoop
On the right draw a tall pole and a thin board. Add a flat ring and a crossed net.
Step 12: Brown skin, red top
Colour the face, arms and hands brown. Colour the top and both shoes red. Leave the eyes white.
Step 13: Orange and blue
Colour the ball and the hoop ring orange. Colour the trousers blue.
Step 14: Grey and black
Colour the tyres, the chair and the pole dark grey. Colour the hair black. Leave the board and net white.
