How to Draw Cars
Drawing is more than just a hobby or a way to kill time during a boring lecture. It’s one of the original art forms. If you love cars, it’s only natural to want to draw cars. Fortunately, even the most complex design is simple if you break it down into small enough parts.
To Draw a Car
To draw a car, you must first think about what kind of vehicle you’re actually interested in drawing. A Corvette looks very different than a El Dorado, for example. Decide on the car you like and find a picture online or in a book of that car. To learn to draw cars on your own, you’ll need to practice using another drawing or photograph first.
Don’t Trace
Print off the picture or make a copy of it. Some people might now trace the picture through white paper, but that’s not the same as actually learning to draw cars. Instead of tracing, use a pencil to lightly draw over the main parts of the picture. You’re looking for the major lines, such as the top, front, back, middle and bottom of the vehicle. Practice your pencil stroke by following the actual lines on the picture, and then work to duplicate the lines on your own paper –without tracing.
Do one section at a time and draw only a handful of lines each time. Gradually the lines will start to come together to resemble the car in the picture. If you can find a basic drawing online rather than a photograph, it will be even easier to see what lines you’ve already drawn and which you still need to complete. Some drawing books even have this broken down in images for you to copy, although they are rarely the actual cars you want to draw.
Line by line, complete your picture. Do all your drawing in pencil so that you can go back and erase and change lines slightly as necessary to make it perfect. Then, when the drawing is done, you have the option of coloring it or going back over the pencil with black ink to make it stand out a bit more.
Easy Step By Step
- 1. Find a drawing or photograph you like and study it in small sections.
- 2. Mimic the lines of the picture with a pencil on the page, and then on the blank paper.
- 3. Draw a few lines at a time in small areas.
- 4. Keep adding lines until your drawing is complete.
Warnings, Advice, and Suggestions
Drawing rarely happens perfectly the first time, so remember to continue to practice over and over again – possibly with the same picture, to gain and improve your skills.
