How to draw a truck
A big delivery truck with three wheels a side. Seven steps. Get a pencil and paper, and tap Next for each line.
Step 1 of 7. Draw a big box for the back, with bumps for wheels.
All 7 steps
Here is every step at once. The blue lines are the new ones; the dark lines are already on your paper. Draw lightly at first, so you can rub out a line you don’t like.
1. Draw a big box for the back, with bumps for wheels.
2. Draw the cab at the front, with a sloping nose.
3. Add a big window in the cab.
4. Draw three round wheels inside the bumps.
5. Put a small circle in each wheel.
6. Add stripes on the box, a handle and a light.
7. Draw the road under the wheels.
A tip for drawing a truck
The box at the back and the cab at the front are two separate shapes with a tiny gap between them. Leave room at the bottom of each for the wheel bumps, and keep all three wheels the same size.
Change it up
Once your truck is down, make it yours:
- Write a word on the side.
- Make it a fire truck with a ladder.
- Draw what it is carrying.

How it was made: Peabody drew this truck in code, line by line, from its own shapes; it is not traced from anyone’s lesson or picture, and it is nobody’s character. Checked 6 November 2026.
