How to Draw a Food Truck

Earlier we showed you how to draw a taco truck, and now we will show you how to draw a food truck, which is a broader class that allows selling different types of fast food.

This tutorial will be very simple since we decided to show the process of drawing a food truck without unnecessary details and shadows.

At the very end of this tutorial, we will detail how to give your food truck drawing a specific look and how to customize, giving a unique look.

How to draw a food truck: step-by-step tutorial

Step 1 – Outline the food truck body shape

Let’s start the tutorial on how to draw a food truck by depicting the outlines of a vehicle using long and light lines. Try to create this image without using a ruler.

Step 2 – Mark the wheel arches and front bumper

Depict arches at the bottom using long, flowing lines. In the same stage, depict the visible side part of the front bumper. You can turn the drawing upside down to see all mistakes.

Step 3 – Draw the food truck door and windows

Now depict the door using a long vertical geometric shape. Next, depict a large rectangle for the food sale window. You can depict these lines with a ruler, but try to do without it.

Step 4 – Add the roof line and windows

Draw a horizontal line at the top of the body. Next, depict the windows in the front of the body. After that, depict small turn signals in the front and back.

Step 5 – Add the raised shutter above the window

A fairly simple stage in which it will be necessary to depict a raised shutter of a window for dispensing food. This window provides protection from the sun and rain, among other things.

Step 6 – Form the truck tires and rims inside

With the help of an eraser, get rid of all construction lines in the food truck drawing. Next, depict the wheels, which should have a perfectly round shape. Then depict the rims inside the wheels.

Step 7 – Form the center and bolts of the rims

Draw small circles in the center of each rim. Next, depict smaller circles around these center circles. These small circles should be equidistant from each other.

Step 8 – Clean up and trace the food truck

Compare your drawing of a food truck to what you see below these lines. Try adding shadows and highlights to make the art more dimensional and realistic.
