how to draw a car | step by step

How to draw a car like a pro.

One question im asked alot is how to draw a car. Anyone can learn how to draw a car like a pro after you realise that it is all about getting the perspective correct from the outset. To put that another way, understanding Perspective theory is the key thing you will need before you can draw a car like a pro.



One of the hardest aspects of how to draw a car like a pro is not only drawing the car in perspective in the first place, but to keep that perspective through the whole drawing. I often find students who are starting to draw cars that it is normally the wheels that makes or breaks how well the car appears on paper, and whether it works as a technical drawing...and time and time again it separates the amateurs from the pros.

If you want to be able to draw a car like a pro I recommend you take a look at Tim Rugendyke's excellent book "How To Draw Cars Fast and Easy - The Insider Secrets To Drawing Cars Like the Pros"

A caricature
is a portrait that over exaggerates or distorts the features of a person whilst still maintaining a good visual likeness of the subject.

A caricature can draw upon certain redeeming fearures and either compliment or even insult the subject for entertainment. A caricature is one of the hardest portrait styles to master.

Drawing a caricature is very simple when you know what you should be looking for and how to apply it to your portrait.












One way to learn how to draw a caricature would be by taking a course at your local art college or an evening class. However a far easier and faster method would by taking the excellent online course by Graeme Biddle called "Serious fun with caricatures".
