How to Draw A Bike Step by Step

Step by Step Guide

If you want to learn how to draw a bike but don’t have any idea as to where you can start, you can follow the approach I usually take while drawing them. I keep things simple and straightforward. Bikes are very simple in terms of visual design, and there is no need to sophisticate them in any way. So by keeping things simple and the details to a bare minimum, you can draw an amazing picture of a bike.

To draw a bike, start with the base frame and work your way up to the wheels and the bike’s handle. After you are done with the main features, work on the smaller ones, add some details, and you are done with your bike drawing.

Start with the front frame

Draw a thick double line, somewhat like a walking cane in the left side of the paper.

Next the crossbar

Draw another thick double line for the crossbar on the left side. Below it, draw another double line that acts as the support frame.

Place the seat

Draw the chain wheel with the lower support rod. Draw a slightly bent rod on top of the wheel, and on top of that rod, we will place our bike seat.

Extend the frame

From the chain wheel and the lower end of the seat, draw two rods that meet each other at the back, forming a triangle.

Attach the wheel

Draw a circular wheel with double outlines in the front.

Add the details

Use a light pencil to add necessary details to the wheel.

Add the back wheel

Draw a similar wheel at the back of the cycle.

Go on with the details

Work out the details in the back wheel as well.

Darken the lines

Use a bold pencil to darken the outline.

Add pedals

On the chain wheel, draw an ‘L’ shaped pedal with a light pencil.

Finishing touches

Use a bold pencil to darken the outline on the pedal.

Coloring time

Get creative with the colors and complete the artwork.
