How to draw a monster truck - a free monster truck drawing guide

What can we use instead of the black marker or fancy coloring supplies listed in the instructions?

If you don't have a black marker to trace all the final lines, use a dark ballpoint pen, fine-tip felt pen, or a sharpened graphite pencil for tracing and substitute markers with colored pencils, crayons, or watercolor paints to color the truck.

My wheels don't look like their bottoms are touching the ground line—how do I fix that?

If the oversized wheels won't sit evenly with their bottoms touching the ground line, lightly redraw the straight ground line, use a coin or cup to trace two matching circles so their bottoms meet the line, then place the long low rectangle chassis above them before adding fenders and details.

How can I change the activity for younger or older kids?

For younger children have an adult pre-sketch the ground line, chassis and wheel outlines so they can color and add simple windows or stickers, while older kids can add rim spokes, the grille/headlight details, and short darker strokes under the chassis for extra shading and realism.

How can we make the monster truck more creative or special before sharing it on DIY.org?

To personalize and extend the drawing add mud splatters and tire tread patterns on the oversized wheels, use stickers or cut-and-glue cardboard fenders, add metallic marker accents on the grille and exhaust, and paint a background scene before photographing to share on DIY.org.
