Flatbed Truck Drawing

When you start drawing a flatbed truck, it’s super helpful to first sketch out some simple lines and shapes. This makes it easier for you as you build up details. Once you have everything drawn, you can save all that fun coloring for later! Remember, I’ll share some color ideas with you, but there’s no need for you just copy what I do. This is all about what you like! So feel free and choose colors that make you happy. Now, grab that pencil and let’s get started on creating something awesome!

Finally, use white and yellow for the headlight.
