Do you want to take your sketching zeal to the next level? Drawing a simple bike doesn’t have to be an intimidating task. All you need to do is break down the bike into simple shapes, which you can then use as the basis for your drawing. If you know how to draw a square, a circle and a triangle, you’re already halfway there!
First, to get started, let’s draw the handlebars and the saddle of the bike. Take a piece of paper and lightly draw 2 horizontal lines in the middle, and 2 vertical lines on either side. This outlines the shape of the handlebars. You can even add curved lines for grip, and the angle of the handlebars. For the saddle, draw an oval in the middle of the handlebars.
Now, let’s draw the frame of the bike. Starting at the bottom, draw a rectangle and then draw a triangle shape on the other end. Finally, to finish the frame, draw a line connecting the bottom of the triangle to the top of the rectangle. To add a bit of flair, you can even draw a couple of curved lines that intersect the frame.
Next, let’s add the wheels of the bike. For the front wheel, draw a large circle and a small circle at the center. For the rear wheel, draw a slightly smaller circle. To make the wheel look more realistic, draw a couple of lines intersecting the circles to signify spokes.
To bring the bike to life, let’s add the pedals. Draw 2 discs at the bottom of the frame, overlapping slightly. Feel free to add some sparkles and design details around the pedals to make them look pretty!
Finally, let’s draw the chain that connects the pedals to the wheels. Draw a “C” shaped curve from the pedal to the wheel, making sure the curves are at a consistent distance from each other. You can also add some design elements around the chain.
And that’s it! With just a few simple techniques, you’ve managed to draw a simple yet stunning bike. Now it’s time to show off your creation to the world!
But wait, there’s more – to really bring your bike to life you can add extra details such as a bell, a mudguard and reflective strips. Here, it’s all about your creative imagination. So let it run wild and create a unique bike that’s full of personality and charm!
Now that you know how to draw a simple bike, why not take it one step further and experiment with different styles? Try adding swirly patterns, stripes or as many details as you can think of.
And don’t forget to have fun with color. Instead of drawing a basic black and white bike, try adding vibrant and exciting hues to make your bike POP. This can be the perfect way to express your creativity and design a bike that you’ll love for years to come.
With a few simple materials and a bit of creativity, you can easily draw a simple bike that looks like it was sketched by a professional. So don’t be intimidated – get out your sketchbook and get start sketching your very own bike!
