Do you wish to learn how to draw a tractor to help stir up or fine-tune your soon-to-be-found or already-existing artistic abilities? If you look at the intricate characteristics, drawing a tractor could appear difficult, but you might be shocked to learn that it’s not as difficult as you think!
It is why we made a step-by-step lesson on how to draw a tractor to make it much simpler for you. Nine clear directions and straightforward graphics make up this thorough manual.
Prepare some paper and a pen so that we may draw together.
Hold on a minute. Before we go into the practical, it’ll be good for us to have a brief theory session to help you understand what you plan to draw.
What is a Tractor?
A tractor is an engineering-shaped vehicle designed to make life easy in agriculture, mining, hauling a trailer, and so much more. It is similar to normal vehicles, but it is not made for roads. It is made for fields. It works at low speed but gets the job done.
Usually, tractors are associated with agriculture. They have come into existence for years now, and they are being developed from time for optimal performance. They all come in different shapes, sizes, and categories and perform different functions depending on what they are to be used for. Wheel-type tractors are the ones that are commonly used for agriculture. There are two-wheeler, three-wheeler, and even four-wheeler types.
Of all the types of tractors, we would focus on the row crop tractor, a multi-purpose tractor designed to perform almost every farm task, including, plowing, leveling, harrowing, pulling seed drills, and running the water pump, threshers, and sprayers. It is effective as it is safe and driver-friendly, gets the job done, is easy to use, gives good row spacing, and can take short turns.
Tractor exterior parts
A tractor is an engine with different parts, internal and external parts, and they all work hand in hand to make it function properly. The external parts are the ones we can see just by looking at the tractor, and some of those external parts include the engine hood, front wheels, rear wheels, side wheels, and even an exhaust pipe.
These are not all the external parts of a tractor, but these are the parts that would most likely be present in all the different types and shapes of a tractor.
Just in case you are trying to know what a tractor looks like or want to have an image of it with you, we will show a step-by-step guide on how to draw a tractor. Mind you. It is not hard, at least not as difficult to draw as its name and function appear.
How to Draw a Tractor
Before starting the drawing, there are some things you need to put together, such as paper or a sketch pad, well-sharpened pencils, crayons, or whatever materials you would prefer when it comes to coloring. You can also decide to have an eraser with you just in case of mistakes.
Having all the required materials with you is best to have undivided focus and attention when drawing the tractor. There are different ways to draw a tractor, but starting from the basics,
- Start by creating the right front wheel of the tractor towards the base of your paper or sketching pad. It is done by drawing an irregular circle shape, followed by drawing another circle into that irregular cycle, and then a curved flap above the wheel.
- Next, the engine pad should be drawn near the tire with an irregular square shape, and the engine should be on the left of the front tire.
- The left tire should be drawn on the other side of the square just the same way as the right tire.
- The next part of the drawing is the rear right wheel of the tractor. This wheel is similar to the front wheel in the irregularities of the circle, but the flap on top of the circle is much fuller, totally covering the whole upper part of the wheel. Because our tractor is facing sideways, we would see just the right side of the tractor.
- At this point, the tractor’s body is the next part to draw. You can do this by creating a diagonal line above the engine and another above the rear wheel, after which a slightly curved horizontal line is drawn at the top to connect the endpoints of the previously drawn horizontal line.
That is basically what a tractor looks like before going ahead to add some more realistic details.
- You should draw an exhaust pipe beside the left part of the tractor’s body. You can draw this exhaust pipe as a straw, and You should add a small cylindrical line to the top of the tractor’s body.
- At this point, the engine’s dimensions are drawn by connecting three straight lines making it look like a cube. Parallel lines are also drawn on the tractor’s body to make it come alive.
- At the engine, draw a square on the frontal part with round edges, and begin to make horizontal lines into the newly added square.
- Returning to the wheels, draw parallel circles inside the inner parts to make them look three-dimensional. Outline the different circles of the wheels. After which you can paint in any color that you decide.
Those nine points are all you need when drawing a tractor, and just in case you missed out on any part, a step-by-step image is attached to guide you and show you what each step should look like.
Conclusion
There are other different ways by which you can draw a tractor and different types of tractors or tractors parked in different positions. But this step-by-step guide is one of the simplest ways to achieve your drawing. If you want a more realistic picture, you can go for something bigger, like outlining a field with the tractor placed somewhere in between.
Don’t limit your artistic skills to drawing just a tractor, there are other things you can draw, or other types of tractors you can draw, and even take it a step further to label the different parts.
