Who among us doesn't love cars? Luxurious models beckon from the pages of magazines and television screens. What if you could create some kind of replica of the magnificent four-wheeled vehicle yourself, albeit a smaller one? The technique of drawing with a pencil, on the one hand, is simple, on the other, it requires diligence, skill and inspiration. A selection for your attention step by step instructions about how to draw a car of any class, including an algorithm for drawing a car for a child.
If you want to learn how to draw a car, or any other object, you must first become familiar with the basics of drawing. It is important to learn how to draw basic lines correctly. A car is an object with a very clear outline, consisting mainly of straight lines. Therefore, the ability to draw them will greatly affect the final result.
To avoid wasting too much paper and pencils, remember a few simple rules drawing:
- The pencil lead should always glide across the paper and not scratch it. Depending on the lines being drawn, the appropriate pencil should be selected. For example, for thin auxiliary lines a semi-hard pencil is suitable, but for main or thick lines it is better to choose a soft but well-sharpened pencil.
- While moving the pencil, make sure not to draw the line to the desired point, but to ensure that it is even.
- As for the technique of drawing lines. Artists know that if you need to draw a straight line, it doesn't have to be solid, especially if you have difficulty doing so. Try to draw an even line with strokes, moving the pencil smoothly and gradually drawing from one stroke to the next. The final result is drawn soft pencil. In this case, forget about the eraser. Never use it if you want to achieve worthwhile results.
- Well, one last thing. How to hold a pencil. Remember - a pencil is never held like a pen while drawing. Firstly, you need to hold it a little higher compared to the handle. Secondly, the fingers holding the pencil should be slightly bent. Yes, it may be uncomfortable at first. But over time, you will feel more confident, perhaps even your handwriting will improve.
Once you are comfortable with a pencil in your hands, try to practice drawing lines. A couple of exercises will help you with this.
Exercise 1. Connecting the dots. Take a sheet of A4 format. Place several points on it (10-15), placing them more or less evenly. Did you draw it? Now try to draw straight lines from each point to all the others. Do this carefully, without haste. This exercise may take you more than one sheet of paper, but the results will be worth it. The goal can be considered achieved if you get straight lines that go clearly from point to point.
Exercise 2. Drawing a figure eight. Place the A4 sheet horizontally. Slowly draw a figure eight on the left side of the sheet. Continue drawing figure eights, moving gradually to the right. The distance between the numbers should be about 5 mm. The result is achieved if:
- the numbers are almost identical in height and width;
- the numbers are symmetrical;
- the polygons resulting from the “overlay” of numbers are almost identical to each other.
How to draw a car: lesson for children
In most cases, children are not yet able to master the technique of drawing straight lines. The machine in its actual form may seem quite complicated to them. Therefore, below are the most simplified options, thanks to which the child will understand how to draw a car.
Option No. 1. A simple, but very exciting drawing of a car for a child. Let's get started:
- We start in a non-standard way - from the roof. Draw a horizontal semicircle.
- Carefully draw the bumper to the semicircle on the left, and the hood on the right. The lines should be smooth, slightly rounded.
- Draw 3 horizontal lines: one exactly in the middle (larger) and two (smaller) along the edges. Make sure that the lines along the edges are symmetrical to each other.
- We connect the edges of the lower lines together in pairs, drawing two semicircles, rounded upward.
- Carefully draw two wheels and a horizontal line at the level where the hood meets the windshield.
- Let's add a few additional elements. We draw the rims of the wheels, the headlight, and the outlines of the glass.
- All that remains is to clearly draw the entire outline of the car and paint it.
Option No. 2. But this machine is already drawn with extremely smooth, clear lines. So, first we draw a rectangle. Then we draw another line on top, parallel to the side of the rectangle, but of shorter length. We finish drawing two wheels at the bottom, and headlights on the sides of the rectangle. Add two glasses.
All that remains is to remove the unnecessary details: carefully draw the edges of the body above the wheels in the form of two arcs, the doors (just draw two small vertical stripes in the middle of the body) and the steering wheel.
How to draw a car with a pencil
Here are instructions for drawing cars. different levels complexity.
Options for Beginners
So, you have a burning desire to draw a car, but you don’t know how to do it. Below we present to your attention a simple sketch, presented with step-by-step instructions.
Step one. First, we draw four thin, barely noticeable lines, outlining the boundaries of the future car. After, we draw the outlines of the car directly. We start from the bottom: draw two horizontal lines at some distance from each other. The upper one is shorter (approximately half of the first). Next we go from top to bottom. From the top horizontal line draw two small lines inclined at an angle - the windshield and rear window.
Draw vertical contours along the edges of the resulting shape to completely connect it. We get the outline of the car.
Step two. Below we draw two wheels. Don’t forget to separately draw the wheel arches and the side glass, divided into the front and rear by a vertical jumper. On the left we finish drawing the headlight.
Step three. We are approaching the final stage of the car drawing lesson. All that remains is to draw the front and rear headlights and car doors. If you wish, you can try to draw rims. To do this, inside each wheel we draw another circle, at a distance of a few millimeters from the first. Color it finished drawing you can according to your taste.
Options for those who have already learned the basics of drawing
Well, then comes the most interesting part: several cool and powerful car models that can be drawn by those who already know how to hold a pencil in their hand. Beginners can also try, but they will have to work hard. Remember, use the pencil smoothly, without pressure and with short lines.
Aston Martin Virage.
In order for the drawing to be similar to the real model, it is important to correctly observe the proportions and avoid sharp angles in the lines of the car. So let's get started. The first step is to draw a sketch of the car, based on which we will draw the main outline. You should end up with something resembling a slightly downward sloping rectangle, as in the example.
Following virtually the contour of the drawn sketch, we form the body. We start from the roof and gradually move to the right, rounding the line on the hood. Then we draw the wheel arches below and finish on the trunk.
The next stage is the windshield and side glass, headlights and car door. Don't forget about the details: door handle, side mirror.
We draw the finishing touches: the radiator grille and some lines of the bumper. We draw the wheels very carefully, remembering that the wheel model must be three-dimensional. It must have an outer and an inner rim.
Chevrolet Camaro.
A luxurious and quite complex car. Drawing it is quite difficult due to the complexity of the geometry of this car, as well as large quantity small parts, in particular on the hood and radiator grille. But it's still worth a try. Let's go.
As usual, we start with a sketch. It is always needed for a clear understanding of how best to arrange the elements of the machine.
Draw a rectangle. Inside it we draw one vertical line and two horizontal ones, one almost at the bottom edge, the second closer to the top. This line should be slightly angled.
Draw at the top of the rectangle windshield and a janitor, as in the example. Then, moving from the windshield, draw the upper part of the hood and a small part of the bumper with smooth lines.
Perhaps the most difficult part: the radiator grille and the lower part of the bumper. We outline the lines of the grille and headlight with strokes. Before drawing them in detail, draw the manufacturer’s logo.
Well, the final stage. We draw the lower part of the bumper, fog lights, wheels (don’t forget, the model is three-dimensional) and draw the rims in especially detail. The drawing is ready.
With that, our article has come to an end. Thanks to the examples presented in it, now you know exactly how to draw a car with a pencil accurately, correctly and beautifully. Good luck in your creativity!
