Drawing a tank with a pencil is not difficult. The main thing here is to be able to highlight the main details and omit unnecessary details. Let's look at how easy it is to draw a T34 tank step by step. Pictures and videos on our website will help you with this.
T34
1. First we draw the base for the tank. It will be a hexagon, inside of which we draw a horizontal line. It will help to depict caterpillars of the same size. From the caterpillars we draw a pair of trapezoids on the side and in front. This will be the base of the tank.
Stage 1: draw the base of the tank
2. The tank turret is depicted using a rectangle with rounded edges. We draw a cannon from the tower, and lines will connect the tower to the hull.
Stage 2: draw the turret and hull of the tankStage 3: draw the caterpillars
4. Add details in the form of a gas tank, hatch, steps.
Stage 4: adding tank details
5. Divide the tank turret into a couple of parts using a rounded line. Then we draw hoops around the cannon and a hatch.
Stage 5: finishing the tower
6. Add details. We draw the tread on the tracks. Then we begin drawing the inner rim and wheel pins. Near the outer wheels we draw teeth. We shade and shade the wheels.
Stage 6
Drawing the T34 tank:
Tiger
1. Draw the main contours of a tiger tank with a strongly protruding gun.
Stage 1: outline the contours of the Tiger tank
2. We designate the main parts of the tiger tank, the rollers and the barrel, as well as smaller parts.
Stage 2: designate the main parts of the tank
3. Add parts for attachments. We outline the chassis.
Stage 3: finishing the attachments and wheels
4. Shade the tank, tint individual parts, add volume to the tiger tank.
Stage 4: shade the tank

Mouse
Tank Mouse is also easy to draw with a pencil. Here's how to do it step by step.
1. Draw a rectangle with rounded edges. On top we draw a trapezoid – the body of a Mouse tank.
Stage 1: depicting the basics of the tank
2. On top of the hull we draw the turret of the Mouse tank: we draw a trapezoid, rounded on the left side. Nearby we draw another semicircle, and from it - a cannon.
Stage 2: draw the tower, cannon and wheels
3. At the next stage we depict the hatch, tracks and spare tank.
Stage 3: finishing the hatch and tracks
4. At the end, we decorate the Mouse tank with symbols in the form of a cross.
Stage 4: painting the Mouse tank
E100
The e100 tank is somewhat different from the previous one. This is a super heavy tank. Externally, its body looks more massive and robust. To draw an E100 tank with a pencil step by step, follow the following recommendations:
1.Draw a parallelogram and a trapezoid on top. This is the hull and turret of the E100 tank.
2. On the top of the tower we mark the hatch, the cannon hoops and the cannon itself with a thick base.
3. Below, under the parallelogram, draw a semicircle along the entire length - the tracks of the E100 tank.
4. We fit the wheels into a semicircle so that one slightly overlaps the other.
5. We complete the drawing with small details of the tank: hoops and wheel pins.
In the picture you will see a drawing and diagram of the E100 tank. The video on our website will also help you draw it.
1. Draw two rectangles with one common side.
2. Where the body of the IS7 tank will be located, draw a horizontal line and draw the contours of the tracks.
Stage 2: finishing drawing the body of the tank
3. From above, we mark the turret of the IS7 tank and the barrel of the gun with a trapezoid; we mark the places for the wheels with crosses.
Stage 3: draw the cannon and wheel locations
4. Draw the track wheels and details on the turret of the IS7 tank.
Stage 4: draw the caterpillar and add details
5. All that remains is to shade and tint individual parts of the tank.
Stage 5
KV1
You can easily draw another model of the tank, KV1, using basic geometric shapes.
1. Draw a parallelepiped – the body of the KV1 tank.
Stage 1: draw a parallelepiped - the body of the tank
2. On the side where the front will be located, draw two vertical lines on the sides and one line diagonally between them. Above we depict the rounded turret of the KV1 tank.
Stage 2: designate the front and round tower
3. Outline the contours of the gun.
Stage 3: outline the contours of the gun
4. We draw the details of the KV1 tank and the tracks, initially outlining where each wheel will be located (they should not overlap each other).
Stage 4: draw the details and the cannon Stage 5: designate the tracks
5. Shade and tint the drawing.
Stage 6: Shading the drawing
KV-1S
In general, of course, the general layout of the tanks will be the same. Thus, knowing how to draw tanks in general, you can vary their models in the pictures. Let's draw a KV1S tank.
1. We draw the same familiar rectangles with a common side.
Stage 1: draw two rectangles
2. Divide them in half with a horizontal line and draw the contours of the caterpillars. At the top we denote the turret of the KV1S tank.
Stage 2: mark the body and outline of the caterpillars 3. Using a line, we define the inside of the caterpillar.
Stage 3: mark the inside of the track
4. We mark the outline of the cannon and the places for the caterpillar wheels.
When a child is born, every parent places the brightest hopes on him and hopes to raise him into a harmoniously developed personality. You can teach him music, take him to various sports clubs. However, it has been proven that a person cannot grow up with a truly diverse outlook if he is not given a pencil in his hands from an early age.
In addition, owning felt-tip pens or pencils helps the baby develop fine motor skills. Drawings allow him to show his family how he sees and feels the world around him. All children love to draw, only boys and girls prefer to depict completely different things. So, if a little artist will most likely draw flowers, the sun or other positive things, then boys will most often prefer to depict cars, explosions, and military equipment. Young children, as a rule, cope with their art on their own, but older children often ask their parents to help them draw this or that picture, setting the bar higher. Today we would like to help children and their parents and tell in detail how heavy military equipment is drawn step by step, in particular, how to draw a tank.
How to draw a T 34 tank
The easiest way to draw the T 34 (the most popular and famous tank of the Great Patriotic War) is to use the method of depicting it step by step. This means that individual details will be depicted on a sheet of white paper, which in the end will be combined into an overall correct drawing.
Generally speaking, you will have to draw simple geometric shapes (rectangles, ovals, squares, triangles, circles). In the future, you will only need to slightly modify the main contours of the tank: where necessary, erase the corners with an eraser, if you need to finish drawing some specific things. Looking ahead, let's say that many small details are applied to an almost finished drawing.
We especially focus on this point: it is very important not to put pressure on the pencil while drawing the primary contours. The child must understand that the contours of the drawing must be thin so that they can be easily erased with an eraser and new lines can be drawn. We declare with confidence that if you or your child follows our instructions exactly, then it is quite possible that you will be able to recognize the tank in the drawing.
How to draw a tank step by step
So, how to draw a tank with a pencil step by step? You should know that small details are not so important for children; it is enough that the general contours and large protruding parts remind him of the famous car. In order to learn how to draw a tank correctly, you need to do the following.
- In the center of the sheet, in its lower part, draw a large rectangle and draw two small triangles to the left and right of it.
- The outer edges of the triangle should be slightly rounded, and the extra lines should be erased. Thus, we have drawn the contours of the future chassis of the tank (caterpillar).
- The next step shows that inside the depicted structure you need to draw the same lines, repeating the previous contours, only smaller in size.
- Drawing several circles inside the second (smaller rectangle) will complete the process of depicting the tank caterpillar. At this stage it is important to carefully erase all unnecessary lines. An adult should definitely help the child, since at an early age children’s motor skills are imperfect, and due to inexperience the boy runs the risk of erasing the necessary lines.
- We draw the contours of the tank's armor. To do this, draw a thin rectangle above the caterpillars, not extending beyond the contours of the caterpillar.
- A small semicircle should be drawn above the armor; it will represent the observation tower of the tank. Please note that the semicircle (turret of the T34 tank) has some features. The height of the tower should be slightly greater than the height of the armor, and its edges should not protrude beyond the contours of the armor. Moreover, it (the dome) should be a couple of centimeters on each side from the edge of the protective part of the tank.
Next, all that remains is to depict a real cannon on the “imperishable”. Here it is enough to draw one thin and long rectangle to the tower. But in order for it to be as similar as possible to a cannon, one of its edges should be rounded. For authenticity, you can add a flame arrester to the end of the gun. This is done extremely simply: a small square is drawn at some distance from the outer edge of the cannon. When the drawing is ready, it will need to be given color. Leave the choice of colors to the child himself, this will give the feeling that the entire drawing was made by the child himself. You can decorate the image of a real combat vehicle with a big red star. Actually, this is all the instructions, following which you can draw a tank.
How to draw a tank: other ways
Today at Soyuzpechat kiosks you can buy a lot of coloring books designed for children of different ages. Believe me, the child will be interested in connecting the dots that follow the contours of the combat vehicle and then coloring them. This method is somewhat simplified and frees parents from additional hassle, but allows the baby to demonstrate his abilities independently.
You can redraw the image of the tank using carbon paper. This activity will give the child confidence in his abilities, because he will be able to draw an exact copy of the picture on which the tank is drawn.
There is another option. You can take a picture showing a combat vehicle and draw it into equal squares. Then do the same on a blank sheet of paper. Next, we redraw the images in each square onto the piece of paper. This technique assumes that the child’s “co-author” must have at least minimal drawing skills. At worst, you can go online and find samples with videos that explain the technology of drawing tanks step by step. We are sure that everything will work out for you!
Older children, who are already good at using different shapes when drawing, very often turn to their parents with requests to help them draw this or that object, picture, etc. It’s good if parents know how to draw themselves, but for most, such requests from a child can become a problem. In this article, we will tell you and clearly demonstrate how to draw a tank for your child, and at the same time teach your child to do the same.
How to draw a tank easily?
The best way to teach a child to draw a tank is to use the principle of step-by-step drawing. First, the geometric shapes that make up the tank's body are sketched out on a sheet of paper. After this, they are given the necessary shape.
Small details of the future drawing are depicted on the finished outline of the tank. If necessary, shadows are drawn and volume is added.
The child must be explained that when making a sketch of the future body and drawing the outlines of future parts on the drawing, there is no need to press on the pencil. At certain stages of drawing, the child will need to erase all unnecessary lines with an eraser.
Step by step drawing of a tank for young children
For younger children, there is no need to draw a tank with small details. It will be enough for kids if the main outlines and large parts of the tank are present in the drawing.
Color drawing of a tank
Now we complicate the drawing by adding more details to it.
- You can start, as in the previous version, with a caterpillar. Since there will be more parts, the tank track will now consist of two triangles with a rounded edge and a rectangle. We can immediately round off the extra corners. On top of the caterpillar we draw the armor and turret. Now we move the tower to the side. The result should be the following outline of the tank.
- Next, we draw the outlines of the parts: the wheels in the caterpillar, the cannon and the barrels.
- We draw in the details and paint the tank itself in shades of green. You can decorate it with a red star. The color tank drawing is ready!

How can you draw a modern tank?
A more complex version of a tank drawing is an image of it with small details and not just in profile, but at an angle.
- We imagine on a piece of paper what our tank will look like already drawn. We mark the location of its placement with a rectangle, and use lines to make the main markings, having previously determined the angle at which the tank’s gun and its turret will be placed. You should pay maximum attention and time to the layout, since the final result depends on it.
- We mark where the tank's tracks and its armor will be located.
- We draw the caterpillar wheels and the outlines of the turret and armor of the tank.
- We draw the details of the tank's caterpillar tracks, located in the foreground, and its visible rear part. We proceed to the tank’s cannon and draw it in the previously outlined lines, immediately working out all the small details.
- We draw the details of the visible part of the second caterpillar of the tank. We are working on the details of the tank turret and drawing the antennas that are found in modern models of military equipment.
- Erase all unnecessary lines. The modern tank model is ready!

If desired, this drawing can be made more realistic. To do this, you need to add volume to it with strokes, drawing all the shadows.
Good afternoon Today we will turn to one of the most popular topics related to drawing lessons, namely, military equipment. We will be drawing another tank - this time the famous German Tiger tank served as a model for our artists. So if you want to know how to draw Tiger tank, we invite you to start our lesson without further ado!
Step 1
Let's start, as always, with the “stickman”, that is, the initial basic figure that is drawn to indicate the shape, size and position of the object. In our case, we will outline the outlines of the hull, turret and tracks, all this is drawn with straight lines that are connected by corners; there are no smooth elements in this step.
Step 2
Let's add some more basic details. Let's draw a trunk with a very impressive muzzle, outline a couple of wide rectangles of the body itself, and draw the outlines of the tracks. The caterpillar to our left is visible from the outside in its entirety, and in the drawing process we will need to take into account the perspective and draw its part closest to us larger than the far one. That is, visually it seems to narrow towards the rear of the tank.
Step 3
Now that the silhouette of our tank is ready, we can begin to directly detail it. We will start, as always, from the top. Let's make the necessary notches on the barrel, draw its movable base, securely fixed in the turret body. At the top of the tower itself we will mark the entrance hatch cover.
Step 4
We finish the entire upper part of the tank. We finally draw the barrel, the barrel with all its components, as well as the movable barrel mount. We also draw the details of the external part of the tank, located under the hatch and slightly to the left of it.
Step 5
Let's draw the details of the front part of the end, or rather, outline them. Let's also outline the contours of the wings - the protective plates that cover the chassis of the tank, that is, the tracks. Connoisseurs of military equipment, of course, will note the difference in this stage with a similar stage in the lesson about, because there the body has a significant slope, but here, especially at the front end, it is absolutely rectangular.
Step 6
But now the searchlights, the machine gun barrel and the rest of the components of the front part of the hull of our tank should be carefully drawn.
Step 7
Let's start drawing the wings, pay attention to the border of the front parts of this protective structure. Let's draw straight lines vertically located across the entire area of the side wings.
Here we will draw the caterpillar wheels and correct the track surface so that it is not formed by angular lines, but has a smooth contour as in our sample.
Step 8
Now we draw the panels that make up the caterpillar track. Please note that they have side edges that are not covered with densely spaced longitudinal stripes, like the front parts. Here we draw the wheels, not forgetting about the edges. At the end of the stage, we cover the areas that we painted in our sample with dense oblique shading.
Step 9
We apply very light shadows to individual parts of the tank, namely: the lower part of the barrel; the lower end of the panel on which the movable part of the muzzle is located; the section of the hull on which the muzzle casts a shadow and, finally, the lowest part of the tank.
This was a difficult lesson on how to draw a German tiger tank with a pencil step by step. If you managed to draw this tank without any difficulties, then our complex lessons about,, and. The drawingforall website team was with you. Don't forget to follow us in contact to stay updated on all new drawing lessons. See you again!
Drawing a thangka can be a daunting task for a novice artist. After all, such a combat vehicle has several complex mechanisms. Such as several pairs of wheels, a caterpillar, a cannon. However, if you depict it in a cartoon form, and even with the help of a lesson, then you will certainly get a beautiful drawing.
It is better to start drawing a tank with a simple pencil sketch. It is better for them not to put too much pressure on the paper and not to make a lot of lines. After all, this is difficult to erase with an eraser and will ruin the finished drawing in the future.
Colored pencils are suitable for coloring, but if you want the tank to be bright, then use watercolor pencils or felt-tip pens.
Required materials:
- ruler;
- pencil;
- eraser;
- marker;
- colored pencils green and black.
Drawing steps:
1. First, let's draw the frame of the lower part of the tank. The figure will resemble an oval.
2. Now, in the middle, step back from the edges of the pencil line and repeat this figure, only slightly reducing the size.
4. In the middle of each circle we will draw one more, but very small one.
5. Let's draw the top of the tank in the form of simple shapes and lines. For beauty, you can use a ruler. This way the lines are straight and the drawing is neat and beautiful.
6. Let's finish drawing the tank gun on the left side. It will look like two lines and a small oval.
7. Now you can take a black marker or felt-tip pen and circle each element of the drawing. The lines should be drawn under the ruler, and the circles should be drawn under the stencil.
8. Let's move on to the most interesting part - decorating. We start with a light green pencil. We will add color to almost every element of the tank design. Let's leave the wheels and track intact.
9. Let's create volume in the drawing. Let's do this with a dark green pencil.
