Time Needed: 45 minutes
-
Outline the Tires
Start by drawing two large circular tires with a smaller ring-shaped hub in the center of each wheel. You can trace around a circular object to help you create smooth circles.
-
Add the Pedal and Crank Arm
Outline a small rectangular pedal and attach it to a thin crank arm.
-
Draw the Chainring and Chain
Create a circular gear with pointy edges for the chainring. Then, wrap a thin chain around the chainring and the rear wheel hub. Don’t forget to erase any overlapping lines.
-
Form the Seat Tube
Draw a diagonal rod extending from the chainring to form the bike’s seat tube. Then, erase any overlapping lines. Use a ruler as a guide in creating long, straight lines.
-
Outline the Saddle and Seat Post
Outline the shape of the saddle. Next, draw a thin diagonal seat post connecting it to the top of the seat tube.
-
Add the Head Tube and Handlebar
Draw a thin, long diagonal bicycle fork and head tube extending from the front wheel hub. Now, form a curved handlebar on top. Then, attach grips to both ends.
-
Outline the Bike Frame
Create an outline of the bike’s frame.
-
Draw the Wheel Spokes
Add evenly spaced thin spokes connecting the hubs to the rims of both wheels.
-
Color the Easy Bike Drawing
First, use black and a very dark shade of gray for the saddle, tires, grips, and pedal. Next, color the spokes, hubs, chainring, and metal parts of the seat and head tubes in shades of gray. Now, fill in the chain with an almost white color. Then, color the crank arm dark brown. Finally, shade the frame and the rest of the tubes orange.
