Cool Car Drawings

When I decided to draw cool car drawings, I didn't realize how much concentration it takes drawing cars.

I need a lot more practice doing pencil drawings of cars and I'm happy to admit it.

I can recognize that this sports car drawing needs more work done to it.

Perspective comes into play for this drawing.

For anyone beginning to draw, I would suggest drawing a car with a side on view, to eliminate most of the perspective drawing.

So far, I haven't practiced much with perspective. It can be quite daunting.

The pick-up truck drawing was much easier to do because it is side on.

You can clearly see that I haven't used a ruler in any of these drawings! It doesn't matter if you prefer to use a ruler. Go with whatever works best for you.

A Helpful Hint

Make sure you are comfortable when you draw.

Try to move only your eyes and not your head when you move between the picture of the car and your drawing paper.

Spend more time looking at the picture you are copying, not your drawing.

I can see I have done a terrible job on the tyres in this drawing but I'm going to pretend it's ok. I will get around to doing another one, one of these days!

On the other car drawings page, you'll see the first VW drawing that I did when I started to draw.

That is the very old VW model.

This is a 2003 model but I don't think it has changed drastically since they started production again.

Draw Anything You See

Over time, not only has my drawing improved, but my scanning process has improved as well.

The last of my cool car drawings is a 4wd wagon. These are great for anyone living in the country.

Drawing cars is not an easy project to take on if you are just beginning to draw although it certainly doesn't hurt you to have a go.

I ended up going over my reference picture of the four wheel drive with a thick pen. I did that to get an idea of which way the lines were going.

Then I copied the pen outline.

It wasn't a clear photo so the dark outline gave the picture more clarity. Tracing the outline would have had the same effect.

Make sure you have a good clear picture to copy when you tackle pencil drawings of cars.

Also, try to get that side-on view to make your drawing easier to do.

When you do your cool car drawings, don't get frustrated if you don't get good results immediately.

Awkwardness disappears with consistent practice.
