Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing a Cartoon School Bus

How to Draw a Great Looking Cartoon School Bus for Kids and Beginners - Step 1

1. Begin the cartoon school bus outline by drawing a long, narrow trapezoid shape. This will become the bus’s front bumper. Extend a long curved line from one side of the bumper, up and around to form a rounded rectangle shape, to the opposite side of the bumper.
This is the front of the school bus. Then, draw a straight line across the top of the shape - the top of the windshield.

2. Draw two straight lines across the top of the bus. Then, enclose three slightly irregular square shapes on the front of the bus. These are the two portions of the windshield and the bus’s grill.

3. Enclose ovals of different sizes on the top and front of the bus, forming the headlights and caution lights. Draw three horizontal lines across the grill.
Drawing Step 4

4. Enclose a round-cornered rectangle on each side of the bus, and connect them to the bus with two short lines each.
These are the bus’s rearview mirrors. Then, extend a straight line diagonally from the bumper, followed by a large “U” shaped line. This begins the side of the bus and the wheel well.

5. Draw another long, straight line followed by a “U” shaped line and a short straight line, continuing the side of the bus past the second wheel well. Enclose partial oval shapes - the wheels - in each wheel well.
Drawing Step 6

6. Draw a long, “L” shaped line from the bottom of the bus to the top, enclosing a rounded rectangle shape. This completes the basic outline of the bus. Then, enclose a tall, narrow rectangle partially hidden behind the mirror.
This is the door of the bus. Enclose a smaller oval inside each wheel. Enclose the remaining tire using a curved line below the bumper.
Drawing Step 7

7. Draw a vertical line down the center of the door. Then, enclose a series of rectangles with rounded corners down the side of the bus. These are the windows.

8. Draw a curved line across the front windows, indicating the dash. Enclose two half-ovals, one inside the other, on top of the dash, then draw straight, parallel lines across the inner oval. This is the bus’s steering wheel.
