Weather wagon
Draw a car made for your favorite weather: cloud wheels, a sunshine roof, or a tiny snowplow.
Stuck? Borrow a little spark.
There is no correct way to draw a ride. Start with a prompt, combine two, or close your eyes and make the first line.

Six places to begin
Make it literal, make it silly, or use just one tiny detail.
Snack-mobile
Turn a favorite snack into a vehicle. Try a toast taxi, noodle bus, berry buggy, or pancake van.
Garden cruiser
What would a gardener drive? Add flower headlights, leaf doors, and room for a friendly snail.
Night-sky ride
Build a moon rover for city streets, with star windows and a comet-shaped spoiler.
Music machine
Imagine a car that plays its own soundtrack. Give it drum wheels or a trumpet horn.
Mystery shape
Start with one random squiggle, then turn it into the strangest ride you can.
Tiny drawing tricks
Keep it loose and let it wobble.
The most memorable rides usually come from one bold idea, not lots of perfect detail.
- Choose three colors before you start.
- Draw one enormous window or one very tiny door.
- Add a passenger, plant, flag, face, or mysterious package.
- Try a shape cars do not normally have: a bean, boot, cloud, or teacup.
- Give your ride a name that makes its personality obvious.
Your first idea is good enough.
Do not wait for the perfect concept. The shared road has plenty of room for experiments.
