About Simple Pickup Truck Side View Coloring Page

A compact pickup truck is drawn in a clean side profile, resting on a short straight ground line. Its broad cab window and simple door define the front half, while the empty cargo bed stretches behind it. Two large plain wheels anchor the low body and contain separate circular hubs. A small side mirror, door handle, headlight and rear light provide distinct details without crowding the outline. The body panels are divided into broad shapes, with a narrower lower strip and wheel arches below them. The background is completely open. Choose one color for the cab and bed, or split the upper and lower panels into two shades; the wheel centers and glass can take separate neutral accents. The wide body surfaces contrast with the thin bed lip and small lights, giving you broad fills to begin with and narrower edges to finish using a pointed pencil.

The pickup's window, door and bed edge

A narrow body strip below the window

Look for

The side window sits above a broad door panel, and the cargo bed has a thin upper lip. The round wheel centers are separate from the larger tire rings.

Try this

Fill the wide body panels before the bed lip, using a fine point along that narrow upper strip. Keep the window lighter than the tires and distinguish the wheel centers with gray, so the circles do not become solid dark discs.

Two paint schemes for the simple pickup

Brick-red pickup with silver trim

A warm body is held together by restrained neutral details.

  • Brick red

    Color the cab and bed sides with the same base.

  • Silver gray

    Use for bumpers, wheel centers and the thin bed lip.

  • Pale blue

    Keep the broad side window light.

  • Charcoal

    Fill the tire rings, leaving the hubs separate.

Forest-green pickup with cream panels

A light lower strip gives the simple side profile a two-tone painted treatment.

  • Forest green

    Color the upper cab and bed sides down to the printed horizontal panel line.

  • Cream

    Use on the lower body strip below that line, stopping at each wheel arch.

  • Blue gray

    Color the window and lightly shade the bumpers.

  • Deep gray

    Use on tires and a small amount around the wheel centers.
