Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Step 1: Sketching the Handlebars

Two parallel diagonal lines representing the base of the scooter handlebars.

Draw two straight, parallel lines slanted diagonally. Teacher's Tip: Keep these lines light; they act as the skeleton for your handlebars.

2

Step 2: Defining the Steering Column

A T-shaped structure formed by two sets of perpendicular parallel lines.

Draw a second set of parallel lines perpendicular to the first to form the steering column. Your drawing should now look like a capital 'T'.

3

Step 3: Adding Handlebar Grips

Handlebar grips added to the ends of the T-bar structure.

Draw small circles at the ends of the bars, then connect them with parallel lines to create a cylinder. Tip: Think of these as the soft foam grips you hold onto while riding.

4

Step 4: The Lower Steering Column

Lower steering column extension attached to the main handlebar assembly.

Extend the steering column downward by drawing parallel lines connected with a curved base. This creates the sturdy neck of the scooter.

5

Step 5: Cleaning Up

The scooter frame with unnecessary internal guide lines erased.

Gently erase the overlapping guide lines inside the handlebars. A clean drawing makes the final coloring much easier!

6

Step 6: Drawing the Deck

The flat deck of the scooter attached to the steering column.

Sketch the rectangular deck extending from the bottom of the steering column. Use parallel lines to give it a 3D perspective.

7

Step 7: Adding the Rear Brake

The rear fender brake added to the back of the scooter deck.

Draw a small curved shape at the back of the deck. This is your rear fender brake. Tip: Keep it small so it looks proportional to the deck.

8

Step 8: Refining the Fork

The front fork structure added to the steering column.

Add a 'J' shaped fork beneath the steering column. This holds the front wheel in place.

9

Step 9: Adding the Wheels

Two wheels added to the scooter, each featuring three concentric circles.

Draw three concentric circles for each wheel. Tip: Using a circular object like a coin can help you get perfect, round wheels!
