"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 a pickup truck. You'll need a sketchbook. You'll need some black markers to draw with. So we're going to just start off with a rectangle although I'm going to leave a space so that we can draw in the wheels. The wheels are just going to be very basic circles and we can always go in later and add in more detail. We're going to draw in another basic shape up here for the cab of the truck; and a line going up, then a line coming down and another line coming down here to the hood. Again, just one more line coming back to the tires. So you can see already a truck starting to form, but with very basic shapes. We're going to draw another line coming down here for the door. Maybe we'll put one line coming back here just to add in a little detail. In the back here we can another rectangle to show the tail lights and another line coming back in here to show the back fender. We'll come back to the front of the truck and work on the front grille. So, again another rectangle, we can just add some lines in here to show that grille and another line down here and we can just do some more rectangles to show a little lights on the bottom of the truck. Again, just another simple shape to show the back tire; do two more small circles here, and just some more basic shapes just to give a little bit of perspective to the tires. Here, and draw in some little spokes, and just one more line here just to give it a little bit of depth, a little bit of depth. There you have with a few simple lines a pickup truck. This has been Jacklyn LaFlamme, thank you for watching."
