Cute Monster Truck With Big Wheels Coloring Page

Add this to your collection of cute monster truck coloring pages and you get the friendliest version of a vehicle that is usually drawn to look mean. The truck faces you square on, grinning between two big round headlamps, with a roof bar carrying four lamps, a star on the rear fender and a pair of enormous treaded tires holding the whole body in the air. Thick outlines, ages 3 to 9.

How this coloring page was created

We entered "a cute monster truck with a smiling grille seen from the front, perched high on two huge round tires" into Colorin AI, and the page came back ready to print. The suspension coils and the axle running between the wheels were added by the generator, and they are what keeps the truck from looking like it is floating.

Change the last few words and you change the whole feel. Ask for it jumping and the tires leave the ground. Ask for flames along the body and the same smiling truck turns into a show vehicle.

The two tires take up more of the sheet than the truck does, which is the joke of the drawing and also what makes it easy. Each one is a tall rounded rectangle filled with about ten curved tread bars, so a child can work through them one bar at a time and end up with something that looks carefully done.

Between the wheels there is real machinery: a coil spring on each side and a ribbed axle housing in the middle. Above, the roof bar holds four circles in a row. Those five small round shapes are the only fiddly part of the page.

The body is drawn as a short pickup cab with a low roofline and a windshield above the face, and the fenders flare out over each tire. Behind the front wheel the rear fender carries the star, and the bed is only just visible at the right hand edge.

Holding it all together is a raised bumper bar that runs the full width under the grille. It is one long unbroken shape and the fastest thing on the page to fill in, which makes it a good place for a small child to start.

Coloring Ideas and Techniques

Monster trucks are painted to be seen from the back of a stadium, so nothing is too bright here. A strong body color with the tires left almost black is the combination that reads best, and it lets the tread bars show as pale lines against the dark rubber if they are left uncolored.

The star on the fender and the four roof lamps are the two places to add a second color, and using the same one in both ties the top and the bottom of the drawing together. The face only needs the mouth filled in, since the eyes are already solid.
