-
Outline the Bike Wheels
Begin by creating two large circles for the bicycle’s wheels. Then, add a smaller ring-shaped hub in the center of each wheel.
-
Add the Chain Guard
Draw an elongated shape around the rear wheel hub to form the chain guard. Inside it, add a small circular chainring. Don’t forget to erase overlapping lines.
-
Attach the Pedal
Draw a small, rectangular pedal. Then, attach it to the chainring by drawing a thin crank arm.
-
Form the Seat Tube
Draw a diagonal rod for the seat tube. Then, outline the saddle sitting on top. Feel free to use a ruler in drawing the straight lines.
-
Draw the Head Tube
Form a thin, diagonal head tube, then extend the lower part to create the fork connecting to the front wheel.
-
Outline the Handlebars
Add the U-shaped handlebars attached to the top of the head tube. Then, draw cylindrical grips on both ends.
-
Draw the Bicycle Frame
Outline the thin, rod-like frame of the bicycle.
-
Add Spokes
Draw thin lines around the wheels to form the spokes.

Color the Bicycle Drawing
First, use black for the grips, saddle, tires, and pedal. Next, use light gray for the handlebars, spokes, crank arm, and top part of the seat tube. Now, apply darker shades of gray for the wheel hubs and chainring. Then, color the frame, tubes, and fork blue.
