Being able to draw cars as realistic as possible is a pretty cool thing to do. Getting the skills to do it are not that difficult either. If you have a good book that is specifically geared toward drawing cars you can be up and running pretty quick. Learning the basics of drawing and having the proper tools are all you need to get started.

To draw a car with some dimension to it you will have to learn about perspective. Drawing in perspective gives the illusion of being two or three dimensional instead of being a flat object. To help with getting all the parts of the car sized correctly you can make a grid on your paper to work off of.

Learning how to do shading on the car and even the surrounding area will give more realism and help make the car jump off the paper. When you get more confident you can start learning color and how to apply it to your drawings. Water color and markers are popular mediums to use for this.

Other tools you need are a few drawing pencils in different hardness’s so you can draw dark and light shades. You need a steady surface to draw on so you can concentrate on drawing not on keeping your table from rocking. Get a good light to shine onto your drawing surface without putting your paper in a shadow.

Getting a good book about drawing cars will show you exactly how to do these things and much more. In many cases you can be drawing decent looking cars in no time and with some practice be drawing like a pro.

do u know a website that shows u how to draw…

I have looked for how to draw hybrids (not cars, too) and I can’t find anything.

www.dragosdesign.com I feel so good looking at all my views, comments and rating. See them rising every day. I realize that all the hard work I put not just into the drawing but actual filming it is worth it. Thx guys, THX a lot.

OK, so i didnt know you werent supposed to put the window paint that you draw on cars on the actual body of the car. Is there anyway to take it off without taking off the paint?

Well im needing something to do while I have free time at work. So im wanting to learn how to draw or even if it is possible for someone to learn how to. Im not trying to be a artist or anything but just to do it as a hobby. The main thing im looking to learn how to draw is cars and tattoo designs. Can anyone point me in the right direction on where to start? Books or web sights or personal tips? Thanks.

Rough sketch of a sport car. Photoshop CS3 and Wacom Graphire A5 Here is my blog dracusor.blogspot.com I’m going to add new stuff and maybe create some tutorials about rendering cars

I know that stock cars typically run anywhere between 80-90 amp alternators, but I was curious of how much of that is actually under constant load? Say worst case senario, driving with the high beams on radio blaring, wipers wiping, honking the horn etc. I’m trying to find out if the average American vehicle can handle and additional 30 amps of constant load without over straining the alternator. If not that much what would the limit be? Thanks for any help.

ive draw this out perfectly on an A2 piece of paper.

i started to paint it in with acrylics but ended up wanting to burn my work because of how messy paints are on such fine lined work, i know this has been done on computer, but i want to do this traditionally.

i dont know how to put this but what do i need to colour this type of art ? my brother said poska pens but i think thats a VERY bad idea.

im not sure what i need but i think using paint is a bad idea in some area’s of this work, ive seen guys using pens to draw car art work like this :

thanks.
