In this section, I will show you how to draw the aforementioned excavator. You can draw this construction vehicle by hand while looking at your computer screen, or print out this page for a closer look at each step.
Step 1:
Draw the shapes that make up the cab and the excavator base.
Step 2:
Add window on cab. There are two in front of the cab and four on the side. Add the roof by drawing two rounded rectangles side by side.
Step 3:
Draw two circles on the front of the roof and a safety light at the top. Draw an elongated muffler with a curved pipe running through it. Draw a circle at the end of the pipe.
Step 4:
To draw a run, start with a rounded triangle. Draw another triangle right inside the first one. Inside the triangle, draw a rectangle and add part of the circle at each end. Draw three more circles above the rectangle, adding depth lines.
Step 5:
Draw the track in the distance, where only some parts can be seen. Complete the track using a ruler to draw evenly spaced lines around the outside of each track.
Step 6:
To draw the boomerang’s arms, draw a long rectangle with a slight bend of the boomerang. Just above the bend, draw a rounded triangle. At the tip of the rod, draw a long oval. Outline all the parts of the arm needed to add depth.
Step 7:
Draw the shape that makes up the bottom of the crane — a long, thin oval with a bump on one side. Outline it to add depth.
Step 8:
To draw the bucket, draw a crescent and connect the ends with an almost straight line. On the top of the bucket, draw two rounded triangles; Outline them to add depth. Add lines to create a triangle behind the bottom of the boom.
Step 9:
Add rings for the shaft joints, allowing the boom and bucket to move up and down. Outline each circle for depth. Draw two hydraulic cylinders using long rectangles and cylinders.
Step 10:
Draw two hydraulic cylinders to attach the boom to the cabin body. Draw lines behind the cylinders to complete the platform.
Step 11:
Use a marker to trace the lines you want to keep and erase any excess pencil lines. And you can color as you like.
