Personal Project: Car Sketches

Its been a very long time since I have drawn a car, I used to draw them a lot while I was in primary school, but that was about 10-11 years ago, so I need to practice drawing them more.

When I was little I used to free draw cars the majority of the time, as well as draw cartoony styled cars where they were squished up and with giant wheels.

Other times I would use this little tool kit for drawing curves and circles that I got with a how to draw cars book as a present.

So today I tried to follow a few tutorials on how to draw cars on perspective or without perspective using the wheel trick, where you draw 4 wheels, all the same distance from each other and then draw a box on top of that for the car.

Perspective 2

I wasnt that keen using the perspective way of drawing the cars, but I will try to practice this some more.

This one was using the spacing of the wheels, and then adding the box shape of the car on top, personally I preferred this one over the perspective one.

The Subaru Impreza WRX STI was always one of my favourite cars to draw when I was little, so this is the one I decided to draw during the free hand sketch, this felt a lot more natural and easier to do, but I feel as though the back end of the car is too long, I just need to practice getting the proportions correct.

This final drawing of a Nissan Skyline GTR R34 was a mix of all three, perspective and wheel spacing, then free drawing over the top
