"Hello I'm Jacklyn Laflamme from JacklynLaflamme.com. In this clip I'm going to show you how to draw a diesel truck. We're going to start off by drawing one long rectangle. And then for the cab part we're going to come in and draw one line down, a line across. We're going to do a half circle for the wheel well. And another line. And then we're going to come up for the front of the truck. And then we're going to do the cab across here. And we're going to add a little part to the truck here. And then we're going to put the exhaust pipe coming up, which is just another rectangle. Next we're going to do the tires. There's quite a few tires on these trucks, so. We're just going to keep drawing the circles. 1, 2, 3 and we're going to do two more tires here in the back. And we're going to just draw another little piece around them so that we have the axles to hold them together. And we're going to do this same thing in the back here. And we're just going to fill that in a little bit so that it looks like the tires aren't just floating on the bottom of the truck. Now they're actually attached and we'll just fill that in. So then for the front of the truck we'll bring a line down and create the doors. And we're just following these lines to create the line of the window. And we'll put a little insignia for the front of the truck here. And let's add a couple of lines. Some cool racing stripes. And on the back maybe there's a little ladder on the truck here. Then we can add some really cool lines to decorate the back of the truck. And this part, this is an area where you can get very creative with and design what you like. Maybe we'll put some lines going this way. Picture them in really nice fun cool colors. And then we'll just go ahead and add a little bit more detail to the tires. And we'll have it driving down the road. And just with a few simple shapes we have a nice truck. Thank you very much. This is Jacklyn Laflamme."
