Draw lightly at first so you can erase later.
The beauty of this project is the gracefully flowing lines so take your time with the lines.

BEGINNING
Use basic common shapes to design your sub.
Use a guideline across the center to help keep things balanced and level. You can erase it later.
The bottom of the submarine goes straight across and curves sharply up at the front and gradually at the back.
The top is higher at the front and slopes gently to the back.
The tail is a half-circle it can be big or little. It is centered on the guideline.

DEVELOPING FORM
Round off the lines and make them smooth and flowing.
The rudder has a second smaller half circle inside the first one. There is a long tall rectangle at the back of it all.

Erase all the extra lines before you start the cool details like portholes and periscope.

DETAILS
Draw double circles a circle around another circle for the portholes. If you have trouble drawing a circle try tracing around something like a button or coin.
Use the shading technique to give the sub roundness.

Don't forget the fish, bubbles, sharks, and mermaids.

PRINTABLE NOTES

Start by drawing lightly so you can erase later on. 

Use a ruler or straight edge to draw the straight lines. Trace around a coin or small jar lid to make the circles for the wheels.

Use shapes like rectangles, triangles, and squares to build the basic shape. 

The view is at a slight angle so the front and the side are both visible. To make the effect correct be sure to put the tires on the far side a little ahead of the ones on the near side. 

Use a guideline for the ground so the wheels are on the same plain and not one higher than the other. The guideline will be part of the shadow later on.

The front of the fire engine slopes down, make sure that both sides have parallel lines and slope the same on both sides.

Use dark areas to give interest. Like the wheels hoses and shadows.

The wheels on the far side are slightly in front of the wheels on the near side. Perspective makes them look just slightly higher than the ones on the nearer side.

Draw around the lines on the ladder so they look like thick strong steel. Every line should have a second so the ladder is made of pairs of lines.

Add knobs and dials on the side control panel. Use rectangles to draw the shapes of the cabinets on the side.

Leave a little light on the far wheels to set them apart from the wheels on the near side.

Put a shadow underneath.

PRINTABLE NOTES

FIRST STEPS

Begin by drawing lightly so you can erase later. Draw the basic shape of the wagon as two rectangles since it is viewed at an angle, but these are not true rectangles since they taper slightly on the outside to allow for perspective. The top is begun as two circles connected by a line at the top. Some will be erased later.

Draw a guideline for the ground so the wheels and steps all lineup.

Add two circles for the wheels. One is bigger than the other since the smaller on is on a turning axle and is lower to the ground. The wheels are below the wagon and not beside. Draw the wheels as two circles so there is an inside edge and an outside edge.

The door has a curved top. Use a long horizontal guideline for the bottom of the shutters and the top of the bottom of the dutch door.

The steps are curved.

ADDING DETAILS

Add a hub cone at the center of each wheel. There are six to eight spokes.
Draw the shutters on the door as half arches pointing away from each other.
The door bottom is divided into sections, draw them as squares.
The side of the wagon has wood squares.
Use two lines to draw each step.
The back has wood slats going up and down draw them as vertical parallel lines.
There is a stovepipe that looks like the letter "T" coming out of the top.
Under the wagon are wooden axles and scissor springs, draw the axles like long rectangles and the scissor springs like the letter "V" sideways 

FINISHING TOUCHES
Put drapes in the window. Draw a person standing inside looking out. Have some camp stuff sitting around like a campfire, buckets, pots, and pans.
Draw a background like a row of bushes and a row of trees. Have some tree branches and leaves hanging over the wagon.

YOU MAY ALSO PRINT THE PROJECT NOTES BELOW

This drawing project is mostly putting together basic shapes into a design.

BEGINNING
Use rectangles and squares to work out the basic shape of the truck. Use huge circles for the wheels. (Sometimes I trace around lids from jars or other things to get the circles right).

DETAILS
There is a gearbox underneath the truck: draw it as a square or rectangle.
There are two driveshafts going to the tires from the gearbox: draw two parallel lines for these.
In the wheel wells are two shock absorbers: draw these as narrow rectangles.
There is an exhaust pipe going up behind the door: draw it as narrow rectangles.
There is a roll bar: draw it with straight lines.
There are headlights: draw them like rounded triangles.

TIRES
The big tires are circles inside of more circles. Draw guidelines up and down and across to make a reference so you can get the inner circles in the right places. Take your time drawing the knobs on the tire tread. Use reference marks to indicate where the knobs are and keep them even. After you draw the reference marks then draw the knobs.

FINISHING TOUCHES
Use shading technique inside the wheel wells. Make the tires dark gray with black details, put black between the knobs. The gearbox and drive shafts are a dark color.

I hope you draw a masterpiece!

Do some concept drawings first on a separate piece of paper. Start with the basic shape of a car or a rectangle. Draw lightly so you can erase later.

Roughly sketch in some of the shapes of an airplane, like the rudder stabilizer, and cockpit.

You can experiment with random shapes; after you sketch a few shapes over the design ask yourself what that looks like and work it in. An oval on the side could be a rotor or a jet engine.

After you have gotten your ideas worked out then you can put them together for your final project.

Use shadows to give it roundness, draw a background and create a world or city for it.

Start with a basic design. It is good to work out ideas on something that you can throw away when you are finished.

Our design is the classic rocket design with a teardrop shape.  Use a guideline down the center to help keep things even on both sides. Use guidelines to keep the front and rear of the fins even. You will erase these guidelines later.

The scout ship has four wings or fins, with a rocket and motor on each one. Use the guidelines to keep them even. The fins taper down and back. The rockets are long cylinders with a point at one end and a ball shape where the rocket fire comes out. Trace coins or buttons to get the circles right. You might want to draw one and then trace it each time for all the rest.

Add details. If you want to have windows or doors, keep them small, making the spaceship look big. Add a few flames at the bottom of the rockets. Have laser guns poking out or a landing dock.

Use shadow to make it look round.

OVERVIEW
Learning how to draw takes practice, so come back every day and choose a few how to draw worksheets, and in no time, you will be a good artist. If your first pictures do not turn out like you hoped, do not get discouraged because you will be learning things, and your next picture will be better. I have a lot of drawing projects for the young artist so try a few.

NOTE
This drawing is in 3/4 view, so we see a little of the side and the front.

BASIC SHAPE
Use basic shapes to form the outline of the old-time car. A square for the body of the cab and a smaller square for the engine cover. There is a triangle shape on the top front of the engine. Divide the squares into rectangles going up. Add the circles for the wheels. Draw a line across the ground to keep the wheels even.

ADD DETAILS
There are windows on the front and two on the side. You can see inside through the window, so put something in there. There is an oval window on the inside back. The seat is four diagonal lines. There is a triangle connecting wheels under the front. The front-engine has a square with some lines, and the side of the engine has five short lines going down for air vents.  The headlights are ovals.

FENDERS
Draw the lines that round off the fenders. It is two lines that go over each wheel and across the lower part of the body.

WHEELS
Each wheel is three large circles; two are narrow for the iron rim, and one is wider for the rubber tire. There is a round hub in the center. Each wheel has twelve wooden spokes. Mark them off around the rim lightly before you draw them in. it will look like a clock face at first.

Take your time, and you will have a drawing you will be proud of.

This airplane shape has very few straight lines. The wings are curved slightly, the rudder and stabilizers are curved or oval.

The fuselage has a straight line from the cockpit to the rudder and the rudder has a straight line on the leading edge. The front of the fuselage has a cone for the propeller. There is a row of exhaust pipes between the propeller and the cockpit. The bottom line of the fuselage curves toward the wing.

Trace coins or buttons to make the wheels round.

Our drawing has the cockpit open there is a door that folds down with a step on it for the pilot to get in.

Draw a shadow underneath.

Put your airplane in an environment like a landing field with the tents for the pilots in the back ground and the trees of the farms beyond that.

What makes this project beautiful is the graceful curving lines of the aircraft. Take your time and it will look good.

Start with a triangle that is wide at the bottom and not very tall. Draw lightly since you will want to erase the extra lines later on. Inside the triangle draw the horizontal lines for the lower flank, the base top, and the turret top. The line of the lower flank makes a wide space for the treads and trucks of the tank. The line of the base top curves down to connect to the lower flank. A second line departs from the base top curving up to shape the turret top. The back of the turret top is vertical. There is a dome at the top of the turret and a machine gun.

The cannon is two lines that go a little beyond the front of the tank, but not too much. The cannon has a sleeve and a buffer where it connects to the turret.  They are drawn as a cylindrical sleeve coming out of a rounded-edged box, at the front of the turret.

The treads ran on three pair of rollers. These were suspended on trucks that were like three narrow triangles pointing down and three wide triangles pointing out. The wheels are mounted behind them so part of the wheels are hidden.  There is an arm with a roller at the top of the trucks for the treads to roll across. There is a spiky large wheel at the front and a smooth roller at the back.

The treads had spikes pointing inward.

Take your time have fun and you will be glad with the results.

It is easy to draw the basic design but there is no end of variations a creative mind can give it.

I only show one here but I have a list of ideas at the bottom.

PRINTABLE LESSON NOTES.

Begin by drawing lightly so you can erase extra marks later. Start with the basic oval shape but a little pointed at both ends. I suggest a guideline across the center to keep things even, and another guideline at the end to keep things level to each other.

I draw a rectangle where I want the large rear fins to go. This helps to make sure one doesn't stick out farther or one starts too far forward since I use the rectangle to be a guideline.

There are many ways to make the fins they can be straight lines or curves or circles. I chose the rocket fin design for my example. The fin in the center is drawn right on the center guideline.

I use another guideline to keep the two rear motors even with each other. The motors are circles with a square then some shading and a few marks for vents. The propellers are very thin figure "8s."

Underneath the blimp is a gondola, it is like a passenger area. It is an oval. I started by drawing a square and then making the lines curve up and down to give the round shape.

Once you have the basic ideas in place erase your extra lines.

You can add things like:
     * Antenna.
     * Windows
     * A ladder or anchor or swing hanging below.
     * A bird's nest on the top,
     * A telescope sticking out,
     * More doors and windows.
     * A flag can hang behind it.
     * Birds can be landing on it.
     * Parachutes underneath,
     * Weather vanes on top.
     * Solar cells.
You might want to go over your drawing with a fine-tipped marker then color it in with color pencils.

Draw a world below it.
Let your imagination go wild.

I hope you make a masterpiece.

You are welcome to print as many as you like. Use the Paypal button to make your donation. 

Thank you!

LESSON NOTES

BEGINNINGS
I recommend using a ruler to draw straight lines. Start with the double lines of the rails that the caboose sits on, this avoids problems later on in the drawing. Above the rails give a space for the wheels and draw a large rectangle. Above the rectangle draw another smaller rectangle for the top house known as a cupola. The roof is a long thin rectangle. Check to make sure all your lines are parallel.

WINDOWS
Draw lightly so you can erase later. Draw guidelines for the windows, draw them straight across for the top edge and bottom edge of the window frames, this way one window won't be higher than the other. There are three or four windows in the body of the caboose. There are two smaller windows in the cupola.

Draw the vertical lines that make the outside edge of the caboose remember the roof overhangs at both ends. Use vertical lines to finish the windows.

DETAILS
There are steps at both ends. Use the ruler to draw these as lines straight across. The steps go down but do not touch the tracks.

WHEELS
The wheels are not hard to do. Trace coins or buttons or some small thing to make them round. The wheels are held into iron carriages that look like a square with a triangle on each side to the middle of the wheel. Take your time and make sure the wheels touch the rails and don't go through the bottom of the caboose.

THE WOOD SIDING
The side of the caboose is made out of wood. Use your ruler to put a mark every 1/8 or 1/4 inches going all the way across the body of the caboose, I suggest doing this right under the roof. Using these marks draw lines from each mark straight down. Break some up of the lines with gaps so they are not solid, it will make the sides look more weather-worn and old.

Don't forget the chimney, it is black. There was a stove in the caboose so the railroad men could ear hot food and sleep in a warm car.

Start by using basic shapes to create an outline. There were many different locomotives. Some had 2 or 4 or 6 wheels or even more. Some had big smokestacks and some had smaller ones. There were different pipes and things on them so you cant go wrong whatever you draw there probably was one like it.

Draw the lines for the train tracks before you draw the wheels that way the wheels will be setting on the tracks and not too high or low. You can trace coins or bottle lids to make perfect circles. There is a metal shaft that goes across the big wheels draw it first before you do too much detail on the wheels.

The main part of the locomotive is the tank it is a rectangle going across the engine and the cab where the engineer stands is a rectangle going up and down at the back of the first rectangle. Draw some squares in the cab for the windows.

The front has a "cow catcher" it is a triangle with some lines in it.

There is a small rectangle between the two smaller wheels that is the piston to make the drive shaft move. It is darker on the bottom.

Add shadows to make the tank look round.

Don't forget to draw the coal car. called the tender.

Make smoke darker on the bottom and lighter at the top.

If you like this project, you might want to see how to draw a pirate ship.

Remember to draw the Viking ship large in the center of the paper. Use a light touch with a hard pencil, so when you draw over it in marker, the pencil will be easy to erase. Start with the shapes and work from the outline of the ship to the interior details. You can use coins or jar lids to draw perfect circles for when you are starting the rough draft of the Viking ship.

You don't have to draw it just like I did. Don't draw the Vikings until the end and keep them simple; remember they had long hair and beards, so you can cover a lot up. Color the sail with red stripes. The ship's hull could be brown or gray-brown; the shields were made of wood and painted different designs, but I left that up to you. Use contrasting colors to darken in the shadows. I didn't draw this with attention to the shadows since it was a complicated drawing, but you can figure out where you want the shadows, like under the shields or the hull of the ship.

Don't forget the background; you can put your Viking ship at sea with a blue sky or in a bay with a village in the background. Enjoy!
