Tractor

You need: Paper, Pencil. Optional: Eraser, Green, yellow, gray and light blue crayons, colored pencils or markers.

Thick lines: draw these now. Thin gray: already drawn. Dashed: light guides you erase later.

Finished

  1. 1. Draw a light, straight ground line across the bottom of your paper. Both wheels will sit on it.

  2. 2. Draw a big light square on the left and a small light square on the right. Both sit on the ground line.

  3. 3. Draw a circle inside each square. Make it touch the middle of each side. These are the wheels.

  4. 4. Draw an arch over the big wheel, a little bigger than the wheel. This is the fender. Close its left end with a short line.

  5. 5. Draw a flat roof high above the big wheel. Then draw the two sides of the cab: the back side goes down to the fender.

  6. 6. Draw the long hood in front of the cab: the top, a round corner and the front. Draw the bottom line, but stop at the small wheel and start again after it.

  7. 7. Draw a big window in the cab and a tall exhaust pipe on top of the hood.

  8. erase

    8. Erase the ground line and the two squares.

  9. 9. Draw a smaller circle inside each wheel for the rim, and a tiny circle in the middle for the hub.

  10. 10. Finish with details: short tread lines around both tires, a grill and a headlight on the front, a steering wheel and some grass.

Tip: To draw a round wheel, put a dot in the middle of each side of the square, then join the dots with a curve.
