How To Draw A Carriage
Step: 1
Begin by sketching two matching wheels at the bottom of your page. Draw a circle for each wheel and add lines extending from the center to form the spokes.
Step: 2
Draw a large, rounded rectangle above the wheels for the main body of the carriage. Make sure the bottom of the carriage connects to the top of the wheels.
Step: 3
Add decorative elements to the sides of the carriage. Draw swirling lines extending from the base towards the front and back for an elegant, classic look.
Step: 4
Draw a smaller, rounded rectangle inside the carriage body to make the window frame. Make sure the window is centered and symmetrical.
Step: 5
Draw a vertical line down the middle of the window frame and a horizontal line across the center to create four smaller panes.
Step: 6
In each windowpane, draw curved lines to show curtains that are pulled back and tied, giving the carriage an elegant look.
Step: 7
Draw a curved line above the carriage body to make the roof. Add small circles or dots along the roof’s edge for decoration.
Step: 8
Finish by adding final decorative elements, like swirls or designs on the carriage body. Ensure all lines are clean and detailed.
Step: 9
Trace your entire drawing with a darker pen or marker to make the outline stand out. Make sure all details are clear and visible.
Step: 10
Finally, color your carriage. Use bright colors to make it stand out. Classic colors include gold, purple, and pink, but feel free to be creative!
