About Simple Flatbed Truck Side View Coloring Page

This flatbed truck is shown from the side with an empty, straight platform extending well behind its compact cab. A tall headboard rises immediately behind the cab, and the deck appears as a long narrow horizontal edge. Small supports and a rectangular underbody fitting sit beneath it. Two wheels contain small dark hub details, while the cab includes a broad window, mirror, door handle and clean front bumper. There are no passengers, cargo or background objects, so the white space above the platform is open background rather than a broad top surface to fill. Use one shade for the cab and another for the narrow deck edge, then choose a metallic tone for the hubs and supports. The long horizontal outline provides a steady pencil path, while the wheel details and thin deck supports call for a finer point.

A reflection in the flatbed truck's cab window

A glass reflection beside the overlapping mirror

Look for

The broad cab window has a sloping lower edge, and the small mirror overlaps its front side. The pane is empty inside, while the mirror has its own closed outline.

Try this

Lightly draw a narrow diagonal reflection strip inside the window as your own addition. Leave it white while applying pale blue to the rest of the pane, stopping at the mirror's outline; color the mirror separately so it does not disappear into the glass.

Plan an imaginary load above the flatbed

What you need

Printed flatbed truck · Pencil and eraser · Colored pencils · Scrap paper

  1. On scrap paper, sketch a simple crate or plant pot that would fit above the empty platform in the picture.
  2. Add your chosen cargo lightly above the deck, keeping it behind the cab and inside the platform's length.
  3. Color the added object differently from the truck, then write a caption identifying it as your own addition to the empty flatbed.

Another way to try it: Keep the printed truck unchanged and draw the proposed cargo on a separate sheet placed beside it as a loading plan.
