"Hello, my name is Jacklyn Laflamme, I'm a professional artist with JacklynLaflamme.com. In this clip, I'm going to show you how to draw pickup trucks. You'll need a sketchbook, you'll need some black markers to draw with. When drawing pickup trucks, we can draw them from different angles. We'll start off with a front view which is really simple. Just going to put in almost a rectangle but we're just going to add, angle the lines just ever so slightly. And you bring these lines out like this and you can connect it. And just with two basic shapes, you can already see the front of the trucks starting form. We'll do one more rectangle shape and then two squares can depict the tires. We'll add a little it more detail here to show the front fender, and we can draw in just a little bit more detail here that'll show the trunk. And just a little bit here, and we'll add some lines to show the glass. When we're doing the side of the truck, again, just very basic shapes. Again, these lines come down, but we're jut changing the angles a little bit to change the perspective on the truck, and we'll bring these lines forward. And again, you can see on the front of the truck, we're just going to do the same basic rectangles and the same basic shapes, just a little bit smaller, little bit different angle. Then we're going to draw an, almost like another square here for the back of the cab. We'll bring the lines down here and one rectangle, we'll just leave some space so that we can get the tires in, which will just be circles, and again, connect this here. We'll put two little circles here for the sides and fill in the same detail that we did on the front of the truck. And just add some lines for the glass and two lines coming down here for the door. Then you have a couple of pickup trucks in different perspective. This has been Jacklyn Laflamme, thank you for watching."
