Free course: How to draw a character
A track base, a cab on top, and a long bent arm with a bucket. Watch the video, follow along on paper, then print the practice sheet and draw it again.
Watch it first
Draw it step by step
New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.
Draw a long flat shape with round ends at the bottom. That is the track the excavator rolls on.
Stand a low box on the track, with a tall cab at the back. Both sides start on the track's top line.
Draw a thick arm from the front of the body, up high, and bent down at the end. Finish it with a round joint.
Two lines straight down from the joint, then a scoop at the bottom. The scoop opens toward the tracks.
Three wheels inside the track, a window in the cab, and three pointy teeth on the scoop.
A warning light on the roof, with little lines to make it flash. Now this excavator is yours.
Now draw an excavator digging for buried treasure.
Practice on paper
Faint lines to trace, all six mini steps, and an empty box to draw your own. One page, works in black and white.
