We are going to create an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle.
The pelican will have a long beak, a pouch, and wings. The bicycle will be a simple design with two wheels and a frame.
Steps:
1. Define the SVG canvas (width and height).
2. Draw the bicycle first so that the pelican is on top.
* The bicycle: two circles for wheels, a triangle for the frame (front and back triangles), handlebars and seat.
3. Draw the pelican:
* Body: an oval or a custom path for the body.
* Beak: a long triangle starting from the head.
* Head: a circle for the top of the head.
* Wings: two curved paths for wings (one on each side).
* Legs: since it's riding, we can have two legs (one bent over the pedal, the other perhaps extended? but for simplicity, we might draw one leg on the pedal and the other as if resting on the bike frame or the pedal at the top).
* The pelican will be sitting on the seat.
However, note: pelicans have webbed feet but when riding, we might stylize.
Approach:
We'll create a simple cartoon style.
Let's break down:
Bicycle:\
- Wheels: two circles (front and back) with same radius.\
- Frame: a triangle from the seat to the back wheel hub, then to the front wheel hub, and then a horizontal top tube from the seat to the handlebar stem.\
- But more common: diamond frame: a quadrilateral? Actually, two triangles: the main triangle and the front fork.
Simplified: - Two wheels (centered at (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)) - Frame: * Back: from seat (sx, sy) to back hub (x2, y2) [but note: the hub is at the center of the wheel] * Down tube: from steering tube (which is at the front hub level) to the bottom bracket (somewhere between the wheels) but for simplicity, we can have: * Actually, let's do a simple frame: - A line from the seat to the back hub (this is the seat tube). - A line from the seat to the front hub (this is the top tube) but that's not standard. * Standard: - Seat tube: from the seat down to the bottom bracket (BB). - Top tube: from the seat to the head tube (at the front). - Down tube: from BB to head tube. - Chain stays: from BB to back hub. - Seat stays: from seat to back hub.
However, for simplicity and cartoon style, we can do: - Two triangles: 1. Rear triangle: seat -> BB -> back hub -> seat. 2. Front triangle: head tube -> BB -> front hub -> head tube.
But we can also do a simpler version: a single diamond (quadrilateral) for the frame?
Alternatively, a common simple SVG bicycle uses: - Two wheels (circles) - A line from the center of the back wheel to the center of the front wheel (this would be the axis, but not the frame) - Actually, let's look for a minimal design.
I propose: - Back wheel at (200, 300) and front wheel at (400, 300), both with radius 40. - The seat post: a line from (200, 260) to (200, 200) [so the seat is at (200,200)] - The top tube: from (200,200) to (350, 250) [the head tube position] - The down tube: from (350, 250) to (300, 300) [the bottom bracket at (300,300) which is between the two wheels at ground level?] - The chain stays: from (300,300) to (200,300) [back hub] - The front fork: from (350,250) to (400,300) and then to the front hub? Actually, the fork goes down to the front hub.
But note: the front hub is at (400,300). So: - front fork: from (350,250) to (400,300) and then to (400,300) is the hub, so we don't need two lines? Actually, the fork is two blades from the head tube to the hub.
For simplicity, we'll do a single line for the fork: from (350,250) to (400,300).
Also, the handlebar: a T-shape at the head tube.
Pedals: we can add two pedals on the bottom bracket.
Pelican:\ - Position: the pelican will be sitting on the seat, so the seat is at (200,200). We'll draw the pelican extending from the seat.\
- Body: from the seat, we can have the body going down and forward? But in a bicycle, the rider is sitting with legs forward. However, pelicans have short legs so we can have the body starting at the seat and extending forward and down a bit.
Sketch:
Seat at (200,200). The pelican's body will be:
- The main body: a rounded shape starting at (200,200) and going to about (250, 250) [but note: the pelican is sitting, so the body might be more upright?]
- Head: at (200, 180) [above the seat] and the beak extending forward to (280, 180) or so.
We'll design the pelican as:
- Head: a circle at (180, 170) with radius 15.
- Beak: a long triangle from (180,170) to (250,170) and then down to (250,180) and back? Actually, the beak is a long flat-bottomed triangle.
How about:
M 180,170
L 250,170
L 240,175
L 180,170
But that's not symmetric. Actually, the beak is on the bottom of the head? Pelicans have a pouch on the bottom.
We can do:
- The head: circle (180,170,15)
- The beak: starts at (180,170) and goes to (250,175) and then down to (250,185) and back to (180,170) but that might be too long.
Alternatively, a simpler beak:
path: M 180,170 L 250,175 L 240,180 Z
But let's make it a smooth curve? Or keep it polygonal.
Wings: one wing behind the rider (on the left, but the bicycle is facing right, so the left wing would be on the side of the bike) and right wing might be visible above?
We'll draw one wing on the right (the side we see) as a curved shape.
Legs:
- One leg (right leg) is on the pedal. The pedal at the bottom bracket: at (300,300). The leg would be from the seat (200,200) to the pedal (300,300) but that's too straight?
- Actually, the knee would be bent. So from (200,200) to (250, 280) [knee] to (300,300) [pedal].
But note: the pelican's legs are short and webbed, but we are in cartoon. We can do two simple legs.
However, for simplicity, we might not draw two legs clearly. We can have one leg visible and the other behind.
Since the pelican is a bird, we can have the legs as two lines with feet? But we'll keep it minimal.
We'll draw:
- Right leg: from the seat (200,200) down to (220, 260) [knee] then to (250, 300) [foot on pedal? but the pedal is at (300,300)].
However, note: the bottom bracket is at (300,300) but the pedal is offset. Let's set the pedal position at (320, 280) for the one at the top? Actually, when the pedal is at 3 o'clock, the position is (300 + radius, 300) where radius is the crank length. Let crank length be 20, so pedal at (320,300) for the front pedal? But in 3 o'clock, it's (320,300). However, the pelican's foot would be at (320,300).
So leg:
M 200,200
L 240,250 (knee)
L 320,300 (foot)
But that's very bent. Alternatively, the pelican might be standing on the pedals? But we want sitting.
Actually, in sitting position, the knee is bent so the foot is not as far forward.
We'll set the knee at (220,250) and the foot at (280,290).
And the left leg might be hidden.
Wings: we'll draw the right wing (the one on the side of the bike) as a curve starting from the back of the body and going up and out.
Body:
We can have an oval for the body: center at (220, 240), width 40, height 50, rotated? but without rotation.
However, the body is connected from the head to the tail.
Let's try a path for the body:
M 180,170 (head start, but we have the head circle and beak separately)
Actually, the body starts at the neck.
We'll do:
Neck: from the head (180,170) down to (190,200)
Body: from (190,200) to (240,250) [tail?] but the tail is behind.
Instead, we can have:
- The main body as a rounded rectangle or oval from (190,200) to (250,260)
- Tail: a small triangle at (250,250) to (260,240) to (260,260)
But for simplicity, we'll skip the tail? Or make it very small.
Given the complexity, let's design a minimal pelican:
Head: circle at (180,170) with r=15
Beak: path: M 180,170 L 250,175 L 240,185 L 180,170
Body: an oval (ellipse) centered at (210, 230) with rx=30, ry=40
Wing: a path that starts at (200,220) and goes to (180,200) then curves up to (160,180) and back to (200,220) but that's for the left wing? Actually, the wing on the side we see (right) would be on the opposite side.
Since the pelican is facing right, the right wing (the one we see) would be on the right side of the body. So:
Start at (220,220) [on the body] then curve out to (250,200) then to (240,240) and back to (220,220)
But a wing is more like a long triangle. We can do:
M 220,220 L 260,210 L 250,250 Z
Legs:
Right leg: M 200,250 L 230,290 L 260,300
Left leg: hidden? So we don't draw.
However, the pelican is sitting on the bike, so the legs might not be fully extended. We'll adjust.
Let's try to coordinate with the bike:
Seat: (200,200)
Pelican's body: from seat (200,200) we start the body. The body oval at (210,230) rx=30, ry=40.
We'll adjust the seat to be at the top of the body? Actually, the seat is under the pelican.
So the pelican's bottom is at the seat. The body starts at (200,200) and goes down to (200,250) for the tail? But we have an oval.
We'll place the body oval so that the top of the oval is at the seat? Not exactly, because the seat is a small part.
Alternatively, the pelican's body is sitting on the seat, so the body starts a bit above the seat?
Given the complexity and artistic liberty, we'll draw:
Pelican head and neck:
Head: circle (180,170,15)
Neck: path from (180,170) to (190,200)
Body: ellipse (cx=210, cy=240, rx=30, ry=40)
Wing (right): path: M 210,240 L 250,220 L 240,260 Z
Legs:
Right leg: from (210,240) [a point on the body] to (210,280) [knee] to (240,300) [foot]
But note: the bottom bracket is at (300,300) and the pedal would be at (320,300) for the front pedal?
However, the pelican's foot is on the pedal. So the foot should be at the pedal position.
We set the pedal position: at (260, 290) for the front pedal? Actually, the bottom bracket is at (300,300). Let crank length be 20, so when the pedal is at 3 o'clock, it's (320,300). But in drawing, we can set the pedal at (310, 300) for simplicity.
However, to fit the pelican's leg, we might adjust the bike or the leg.
We'll set the bottom bracket at (250, 300) to make it closer? But then the bike would be smaller.
Let's adjust the bike to be smaller to fit the pelican:
Back wheel: (150, 300) r=30
Front wheel: (250, 300) r=30
Seat: at (150, 260) [so the seat post is from (150,300) to (150,260)]
Bottom bracket: midway between wheels? at (200, 300) [but the wheels are 100 apart, so midpoint at 200]
Head tube: we'll set at (230, 270) [so the top tube: from (150,260) to (230,270); down tube: from (230,270) to (200,300); chain stays: from (200,300) to (150,300)]
Front fork: from (230,270) to (250,300)
Pedals: cranks of length 20, so the pedal positions relative to BB (200,300) would be:
at 3 o'clock: (220, 300)
at 9 o'clock: (180, 300) [but that's under the bike, so we draw only the front one at 3 o'clock: (220,300)]
Now the pelican:
Seat: (150,260)
Head: we want the head to be at about (120, 240) so that the beak extends forward to (180,240) or so.
Let's set:
Head: circle (120, 240) r=15
Beak: M 120,240 L 180,240 L 170,245 Z
Body: an ellipse centered at (150, 270) with rx=25, ry=30. But note the seat is at (150,260) so the top of the body is at 240? Actually, the body starts at the seat.
We'll shift the body down: center at (150, 280), rx=25, ry=30 -> then the top of the body is at 250, which is below the seat (260). That doesn't fit.
Instead, the body should be above the seat? Actually, the seat is under the pelican, so the pelican's body is above the seat.
We'll set the body starting at the seat: the bottom of the pelican at the seat. So the body ellipse centered at (150, 260 - 15) = (150, 245) with rx=25, ry=25?
But then the beak is at (120,240) which is above the body center?
Let me recalc:
Head center: (120, 240) -> so the body should connect to the head at the neck.
We'll do:
Body: ellipse (cx=150, cy=260, rx=25, ry=25) -> but then the top of the body is at 235?
Actually, the seat is at (150,260). The pelican sits on the seat, so the body starts at 260 and goes up to 235? That means the pelican is sitting with its body above the seat level?
Typically, the seat is under the pelican's bottom, so the pelican's body starts above 260.
We'll set the body center at (150, 250) so that the bottom of the body is at 275? But we want the seat to be under the pelican.
How about: the body is a circle (or ellipse) that covers from y=230 to y=270? Then the seat at (150,260) is inside the body? That might work.
So: body ellipse (150, 250, 25, 25) -> then the bottom of the body is at 275. The seat (150,260) is above the bottom of the body (275) by 15? That doesn't make sense.
Correction: center (150,250), ry=25 -> the bottom is 250+25=275. The seat at (150,260) is above the bottom of the body (275) by 15? Actually 260 < 275, so the seat is above the bottom?
Actually, the seat is at 260 and the body bottom is at 275, so the seat is 15 units above the bottom of the body. That means the pelican is sitting on the seat and the seat is inside the body?
That might be acceptable for a cartoon.
Given the time, let's design the pelican with:
Head: circle (120, 240) r=15
Beak: M 120,240 L 180,240 L 170,245 L 120,240
Body: ellipse (150, 250, 25, 25)
Wing (right): path "M 150,250 L 190,240 L 180,260 Z"
Leg:
Right leg:
start at (150,275) [bottom of body]
knee at (170, 290)
foot at (200, 300) [which is the bottom bracket? but we set pedal at (220,300) for the front pedal?]
But the pedal is at (220,300). So foot at (220,300).
So leg:
M 150,275
L 170,290
L 220,300
Now, the bike frame:
Back wheel: (150,300) r=30
Front wheel: (250,300) r=30
Seat post: from (150,300) to (150,260) [so top of seat post is (150,260)]
Top tube: from (150,260) to (230,270)
Down tube: from (230,270) to (200,300) [BB]
Chain stays: from (200,300) to (150,300)
Front fork: from (230,270) to (250,300)
Pedal: at (220,300) [right pedal at 3 o'clock]
We'll draw the pelican:
Head and beak at (120,240) and (120,240) to (180,240) etc.
Note: the head is to the left of the seat (150,260) -> so (120,240) is left and above.
The body center (150,250) is slightly above the seat top (150,260) because 250 < 260.
This might look odd. Let's adjust the body center to (150, 255) so that the bottom is 280?
We want the seat (150,260) to be within the body. So set body center y to 255, ry=25 -> then the bottom is 280. So the seat at 260 is 20 units above the bottom of the body? That's acceptable.
Alternatively, set body center at (150, 245) so that the top of the body is at 220 and bottom at 270. Then the seat (150,260) is 10 units above the bottom (270) -> 260 is 10 above 270? Wait, 245+25=270, so 260 is between 245 and 270: 245 to 270 is 25 units, so 260 is (260-245)=15 from center -> so 15/25 = 60% from center to bottom.
That works.
So body: cx=150, cy=245, rx=25, ry=25 -> covers y=220 to 270.
Then the seat at (150,260) is inside the body (since 260 < 270).
Head: we set at (120, 240) -> which is above the body center (245) by 5? Actually 240 < 245, so it's above the center.
Beak: from (120,240) to (180,240) -> which is the same height as the head center.
Now, the wing:
We want it to be attached to the body. The body at x=150, y=245. The wing on the right side (the side we see) would be attached at (175,245) [the rightmost point of the body] but the body is an ellipse, so at angle.
However, for simplicity, we'll attach at (150+25, 245) = (175,245). But the body is an ellipse, so the point (175,245) is on the ellipse.
Then the wing path:
M 175,245
L 215,235
L 205,255
Z
Legs:
Right leg:
starts at the bottom of the body: (150, 245+25) = (150,270)
knee: (170, 285) [slightly bent]
foot: (220,300) [pedal position]
We draw a path: M 150,270 L 170,285 L 220,300
And the left leg is hidden behind the bike, so we skip.
Tail: we can add a small tail at the back:
from (125,270) [back of the body] to (110,265) and (110,275) -> but we'll skip for simplicity.
Now, let's code accordingly.
We'll set the SVG size to 400x400.
Steps in SVG:
1. Draw the bicycle (wheels, frame, pedals)
2. Draw the pelican (body, head, beak, wing, leg)
Colors:
Bicycle: black frame, gray wheels, maybe brown seat.
Pelican: white body, orange beak and legs.
We'll use:
Bicycle frame: black
Wheels: gray with black rim
Seat: brown
Pelican:
body: white
beak and legs: orange
Note: We'll draw the pelican after the bicycle so that it appears on top.
Let's code accordingly.
Wow. And the result was so bad...
