Drawing of a Bike
This how to draw a bike tutorial shows beginner artists how to draw one with sturdy wheels, fenders and handlebars. Some fun customization could certainly be added with racing stripes and bright colors, but for those that would just like to start with a basic bike drawing, you’re at the right place.

Remembering what bar connects to another, and where, can become difficult if you don’t have one in front of you. Or maybe haven’t even been on one recently. Not to worry, this step by step tutorial makes it easy to remember and understand.
