Today’s drawing session focuses on How to Draw a Bus, a common but interesting subject in urban transportation.
Drawing a bus is not only about geometry and symmetry, but it also allows us to capture daily life and the culture of mobility in cities.
Buses are like moving stories, with each window offering a glimpse into different lives and scenes. This drawing exercise will help us explore themes of routine, community, and public life dynamics.
So, grab your tools, and let’s bring the vibrant city life to our sketches as we tackle the challenge of drawing a bus with its rectangular shape, rounded corners, and detailed interiors. Let’s begin this artistic adventure!
How to Draw a Bus
Step: 1
Start by sketching two circles at the bottom of your page, leaving some space between them. These circles will be the bus’s wheels. Then, draw a smaller circle inside each one to depict the hubcaps.
Step: 2
Add a smaller circle inside each hubcap to enhance the detail and make the wheels look more realistic.
Step: 3
Draw a straight line between the two wheels to represent the bus’s bottom and align the wheels correctly.
Step: 4
Draw a large rectangle with rounded corners above the wheels to create the main body of the bus. Ensure the bottom of the rectangle lines up with the line that connects the wheels.
Step: 5
Draw a small rectangle on the left side of the bus for the front bumper and another one on the right side for the rear bumper.
Step: 6
To draw the bus’s windshield, start at the top of the front bumper and draw a line up to the top of the bus body. Then, extend the roof a bit past the windshield for a more complete appearance.
Step: 7
Draw a large rectangle on the right side at the back of the bus to make a window. Put a similar rectangle on the left side at the front for another window.
Step: 8
Add two rectangles between the first two windows to make more windows on the bus. Space them evenly for a balanced appearance.
Step: 9
Draw two tall rectangles in the middle of the bus body to serve as doors. Make sure these rectangles are taller than the windows.
Step: 10
Color your bus next. While buses are often green with yellow details, feel free to choose any colors you like. Color the windows to resemble glass and shade the wheels and other details as needed.
