Draw Awesome Cars

Drawing cool cars is easy if you have your car drawing skills down pat. Most cool cars feature graphics, butterfly doors, spoilers and awesome shapes. These tips will help you draw the coolest cars with all the features you want to learn draw.


Instructions


1. Look at several pictures of cool cars, and study the shapes of the spoilers, the colors and graphics. Study how the extras work, such as spoilers and butterfly doors. This will help you visualize draw them in different positions.


2. Draw a normal car shape. Just make a sketch. Draw an oval to establish the windshield, a trapezoid for the hood, and sides, as well as the passenger area. Then add simple circles for the wheels.


3. Flush out your cool car by hardening a few of the sketch lines. Use progressively darker lines to thresh out your shapes. Cool cars have more dynamic shapes, with flowing hoods and sharp angular hoods. They also have small passenger areas. A corvette has large flares over the front wheels, these flares are simple arcs that flow into the hood and passenger area. A scion is a simple, angular trapezoid that is a little longer than it is high.


4. Add graphics and cool accessories, including a spoiler. This looks like a fishtail and comes right off the back of the car. Draw it any way you want, but when you do draw it, imagine the wind flowing through it, and make it feel like something that would naturally cut through the air. It could moonlight as a fishtail turned on its side, and is made to push air that forces the nose of the car into the ground. Draw it right off the back. It should be an angular line that turns into a shallow arc, and then a cup shape under this that connects back to the angular line and attaches to the car.


5. Draw your graphics right on the car, so they wrap around the body of the car itself. This takes some practice, so try to visualize the structure of the car first. Then draw the flat images onto that surface.


6. Add fancy, flashy rims to your wheels, and define the final shape of the wheel. A wheel facing slightly toward you is drawn like crescent shape. The more it turns toward you, the more box-shaped it becomes. Study the shapes, and remember, draw you large rims with plenty of flash so they take up most of the circumference of the wheel. Interesting rims with fin-shaped spokes, jagged shapes in the spokes and more make a car really cool.
