Fearless Friday, Pumpkin Pickup
Today we’re going to draw and color a pumpkin truck
There’s a free printable for you if you want to follow along
I used markers,
but you can use colored pencils or a combination
First a pencil sketch
Once you are satisfied with the drawing
use a waterproof liner pen to ink your drawing
and erase the pencil
{You can also trace an image if you don’t want to draw}
You can download the free printable here
Let’s color!
I started with the orange letters
and then moved on to the sunflowers
I used 2 shades of brown for the centers
and yellow and golden yellow for the petals
I am using this set of Caliart markers
It is a set of 121 colors, dual tipped alcohol markers,
and very reasonably priced at $42.99
I used yellow and a pale orange
for the highlighted areas on the large pumpkin
and two shades of aqua for the truck
Black checks and black trim
around the rear window and tail lights
I colored the remaining 2 pumpkins with a pale orange and an olive green
When I colored the tires with a dark gray,
I purposedly left streaks of white showing
to look like tire treads
Several shades of lighter grays color the bumper
and red was put on the tail lights
leaving a white highlight
The final touch was a gray shadow beneath the truck to ground it
And just for fun, a sprinkle of black polka dots!
