How to Draw a Wheelchair and a Person in It

Drawing is a fun way to be creative! Today, we’re going to learn how to draw a wheelchair with a person sitting in it. Grab your markers, paper, and colors, and let’s start drawing!

Step 1: Draw the Back Wheel

First, draw the big back wheel of the wheelchair. Make a large circle. Inside this circle:

  • Draw a smaller circle.
  • Put a tiny circle in the center.
  • Draw lines from the top, bottom, left, and right to the center to make spokes. You can add more lines for extra detail.

Step 2: Draw the Front Wheel

Now, draw the smaller front wheel. Make sure the bottom of this wheel lines up with the bottom of the back wheel. Inside this wheel:

  • Draw a smaller circle.
  • Add a tiny circle in the center.
  • Draw spokes just like you did for the back wheel.

Step 3: Draw the Wheelchair Frame

To make the frame of the wheelchair:

  1. Draw a line from the top of the back wheel going up.
  2. Connect a line from the middle of the back wheel to the front wheel, imagining it goes behind the wheel.
  3. Draw another line from the top of the front wheel to the frame.
  4. Add a line back to the center of the back wheel.

Step 4: Add Armrests and Cushions

Let’s add armrests:

  • Draw an upside-down “L” shape from the frame to the front.
  • Inside, draw a smaller upside-down “L” for the inner armrest.

For cushions:

  • Draw a curve for the back cushion connecting to the armrest and frame.
  • Draw a line for the bottom cushion from the armrest to the frame.

Step 5: Draw the Handles

Many wheelchairs have handles at the back. Draw two lines going backward from the frame and connect them. Add a line for the grip on the handle.

Step 6: Draw the Person in the Wheelchair

Now, let’s draw a person sitting in the wheelchair. Start with a big cartoon head above the chair.

  1. Draw a line from the head to the chair for the neck.
  2. For the arms, draw a backward “L” shape from the head to the armrest.
  3. Draw the body with a line in front of the arm and another behind the armrest, bending down for the legs.

Step 7: Add Legs and Feet

Draw the legs from the body:

  • Make a line for the knee bending down to the footrest.
  • Draw the foot connecting from the leg to the footrest.

You can add details like socks, shorts, and the bottom of the t-shirt.

Step 8: Add Facial Features and Hair

Let’s give the person a face:

  • Draw two circles for the eyes and fill them in.
  • Add a smile or any expression you like.
  • Draw ears, and you can add eyelashes or other features.

For hair, choose any style you like—curly, straight, or add accessories like bows.

Step 9: Color Your Drawing

Now it’s time to color your drawing! Pick any colors you like for the wheelchair and the person. Feel free to add more details, like a background or extra accessories.

Conclusion

Great job! You’ve drawn a wheelchair and a person in it. Remember, the most important part of drawing is to have fun and be creative. Make your drawing unique and enjoy the process. Happy drawing!

  • What do you think it would be like to use a wheelchair? Can you think of any places where you’ve seen people using wheelchairs?
  • When you draw, how do you decide what colors to use? What colors would you choose for your wheelchair drawing and why?
  • Have you ever drawn something that was challenging at first but became easier as you practiced? How did it feel to see your drawing improve?
  1. Wheelchair Observation Walk: Take a walk around your neighborhood or school and look for wheelchairs. How many different types can you find? Notice the colors, shapes, and sizes. Draw a picture of your favorite one and share it with the class. Discuss what makes each wheelchair unique and how they help people move around.

  2. Create Your Own Wheelchair Design: Using craft materials like cardboard, paper plates, and markers, design your own model of a wheelchair. Think about what features you would add to make it special. Would it have bright colors, special patterns, or extra comfortable cushions? Present your design to the class and explain why you chose those features.

  3. Story Time with Your Drawing: Write a short story about the person you drew in the wheelchair. What is their name? Where are they going? What adventures do they have? Share your story with a friend or family member and ask them what they liked about it. This will help you think about the lives of people who use wheelchairs and the exciting things they can do.
