Draw it step by step

Six steps to a tractor

New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.

1

Start with the wheels

Draw a huge circle at the back and a small one in front. The back wheel is twice as tall.

2

Add the body

A long hood in front and a tall box on top. Curve the bottom around each wheel, with a gap.

3

Window and grille

A big square window in the cab, and a small grille on the nose with two stripes.

4

A pipe and vents

Stand a tall pipe up on the hood. Draw three short lines beside it for the engine.

5

Chunky tread

Draw square bumps all the way round the big wheel. Add a hubcap in each wheel.

6

Finishing touches

A dot in the big hubcap, a bright headlight, and a puff of smoke from the pipe. Now this tractor is yours.

Go further

Now draw a tractor pulling the biggest pumpkin on the farm.
