How to Draw a Truck in MS Paint

MS Paint is a very basic paint program that comes as an accessory with nearly every PC. While the interface is simple, MS Paint can be a handy and cheap way to create complex pictures. Drawing a truck in MS Paint can be done by using several of the drafting tools such as the line tool, curve tool, paint bucket and oval tool. By using these tools you can create a much more mechanically precise looking picture without using tools like a ruler or compass.

Things You'll Need

• Computer (PC) Mouse Microsoft Paint

Instructions

1. 

   Draw a large rectangle with the line tool in MS Paint. You can overlap each of the lines and erase the excess to ensure that all the lines are straight.

2. 

   Add a trapezoid on top of this rectangle for the cab of the truck. Erase the left vertical line of the rectangle and replace it with a line using the curve tool. Curve this line by clicking on the top of it and dragging it until there is a small curve in the line.

3. 

   Draw a trapezoid that is parallel to the shape of the cab inside the cab for the window. Erase the bottom line of the cab trapezoid.

4. 

   Create the wheels by using the oval tool. Click your mouse inside the body of the truck and drag the tool down and to the right to make the wheel. If you do not like the shape, hit "Crtl+Z" to undo the circle and start over. Do this as well for the back wheel.

5. 

   Add the rims of the wheels inside the wheel circle by dragging in slightly smaller circles inside the wheel. Select the line tool and drag a vertical line down from the base of the cab to the bottom of the truck body.

6. Drag a horizontal line across the bottom third of the truck. Extend this line out of the back of the truck slightly. Add a reverse "L" shape to this line to create the back bumper. Using the pencil tool, create two curved lines above each wheel on the body of the car. Add the tail lights with rectangle on the back of the truck above the bumper.

7. Create the head lights with a curved line at the front corner of the truck. Use the paint bucket tool to drop black paint into the tires.

Tips & Warnings

• Crtl+Z (Control and the Z key pressed simultaneously) is the key board shortcut for "undo" and is very handy in MS Paint.
