How to Draw a Bicycle
Step 1:
Start by drawing a large circle which will be the bicycle’s back wheel. Inside this circle, draw a smaller circle towards the top, and connect it with a straight line across the diameter of the wheel’s rim.
Step 2:
Repeat the process to create the front wheel of the bicycle. Ensure both wheels are aligned and the rear wheel is slightly smaller to give a sense of perspective.
Step 3:
Inside each wheel, draw another small circle for the hubs.
Step 4:
Now, draw straight lines on the back wheel as shown in the picture.
Step 5:
Now, repeat the same steps as done for the back wheel on the front wheel.
Step 6:
Draw a straight line from the back wheel’s hub going upwards to create the front fork.
Step 7:
Add two straight from the front wheel hub.
Step 8:
Now, draw four slanted lines starting from the front wheel’s road and connect them to the back wheel’s road as shown in the picture.
Step 9:
Sketch the handlebars extending up and then curving forwards from the head tube. Don’t forget to add the grips at the ends of the handlebars.
Step 10:
Add a small circle for the seat. Add pedals by drawing a small line on either side of the lower part of the frame where the lines intersect.
Step 11:
Finally, add color and shading to your bicycle to bring it to life. Use light and dark shades to create depth and give the impression of a three-dimensional object.
