Well I like to think of myself as a bit of an artist so heres a bit of work I did one an earlier thread....

To be honest the best way to learn is practice. Try copying the car's body shapes from photos in an effort to get an understanding of their shape. Then start to draw from your head then go back to photos to see what you need to fix. This is pretty much how I learnt, but I can't be bothered getting a scanner so your all just gonna have to take my word for it that I'm the best artist in the history of the world

It takes a little bit more than that, I'm afraid. I reckon one of the best things to do is to pay attention to small things like body shapes on cars. There have been a lot of instances where something I drew didn't look right because the body shape wasn't right. If you wanna draw a sports car, have a long bonnet, short overhangs, accentuated wheel arches and try and keep the details close to the edges to give it a wide, low stance.

one of the hardest parts is having the sides the same. make sure the left fender has the same exact curve as the right fender. also the distances. the distances between the a pillars shoudl be about the same as the width of the car.

the best advice is just practice. draw and draw and draw. im sure ive drawn well over 1000 cars, and i still coudl stand to draw more.

i always start with the wheels..the whole car is associated with the wheel geometry, and this is what helps me a lot in 3d

Yes, you must start with the weels and then, the shape of the car. The last thing, the shadows, is important too.

Single point perspective, or the quick 'n' easy method.

1) - draw line
2) - draw on your ellipses (ovals) which will be the wheels. Ideally the front wheel should be more "open" that the rear wheel e.g. rounder. (take a coin or something, look at face - that is "open". Turn the coin 90° so that you can see the edge, that is "closed")
3) - map out where you car body will go
4) - add all the details etc.
5) - rinse, repeat etc. Practice makes perfect, or near enough.

Due to perspective, there should be a wider space between the nearest side of the vehicle to the centre line, than from the centre line of the far side.

Two point perspective, or the not so easy method.

1) draw a rectangle in perspective. Then put a few 'horizontal' lines in where the axles will go. Then, at 90° to the 'axle' you want a 'vertical' line, which will be the vertical centreline of the wheel.

2) map out where the body will go. I usually end up making the car too long, or two narrow. Probably the hardest bit is keeping it all in proportion and perspective.

3) fill in details etc.

I'd probably use that as an underlay, and do a better version, as the basic perspective is there, and it is fairly easy to rework an existing sketch than starting again.

These were never meant to be Vauxhalls, it just turned out that way.

Yeah I managed to draw a pretty cool car in my Yr 12 Tech Drawing class, but I gave it a Daewoo grill for some reason. I don't know why, it just seemed to fit. Then some bastard stole the picture. My main piece of advice is stick with the point of view Conventry told you, front on and profile drawings are easy, anyone with the tiniest amount of talent can do them. You'll learn a lot more from doing the more dynamic angles, at a quicker rate, then go back and do the profiles and stuff if you wanna.

Yes I realise I got no credibility 'til I scan in some work in, but I'm too lazy.

As a side note, do you ever get annoyed at people always throwing an 'N' in your nick where there is no 'N' Conventry? (Yeah I know I spelt it wrong but you picked me up on it one time so I've made a resolution to always spell it like that)

draw side views to get the cars proportions, because u will mess up if u go straight to 3d

I don't worry about it too much, but am slightly puzzled by the popular spelling of "conventry".

No nuns here, move along please.


hej coventry guy i wana go it doesn't really suck does it?

The Uni is good, the place isn't. There are worse places in the UK, but I can't imagine that there are many of them.

Nope. Bored of Uni living already. I want money!

I think TVR would be interesting, but I might do boats.

As they say "It's not the asshole of the world, but you can see it from there"

You have no idea how lucky you are Conventry, over here if you do a vehicle design course you have the option of going to Holden or Ford.

Nothing too spectacular yet. I am also a highly self critical perfectionist, so most of my ideas which are a bit rough I don't like.

Hardly anything is scanned in either.

I quite like my Dunhill car.

Luciferous
11-25-2004, 06:24 AM
It's certainly orginal, I'll give you that. I drew what I reckon the new RR Corniche should look like instead of the 100EX, it looked pretty cool, but I got told it looked like Cruella DeVille's car, which to be honest is why I liked it but it kind of ruined it.

I find myself doing the same thing, I have a habit drawing in pen. If I'm halfway through and screw something up I just screw it up and start again. I really should start to use pencil but I hate getting the shit all over your hand...

The method shown by Coventrysucks is really good.
I've done a F430/Murciélago-mix with some ideas of my own.
Unfortunately i don't have a scanner. :(

I'm working on my next car right now: Audi A8 Avant Cabrio.
Looks great so far and should definitely go into production - lol

Mostly it takes practise, but you could start off by drawing a recangular block in 3d, then making that into your "car".

Hey, I've been drawing cars for a long time now, but one thing I can never do is draw the same car from different angles. I'm designing a Ferrari for an importand project, and here's one of my designs. I know that parts, like the rear and the front aren't perfect yet, and I will make the headlights bigger eventually. This was just a quick sketch.

Can someone please draw me this car from the front, side, rear and a 3/4 rear view, or a tutorial would be as good. No need for details, I will add them. I have never been to do the same car from different angles, and keeping it looing like the same car, with all the same proportions. Thanks.

Very nice, a lot better than I can do. However, I think the front is out of perspective... the right-front is too bulbous and sticks out too far and should be smaller, or am I wrong?

i can be of service i believe

spoilers:
the fat end is in the front, it has to have posts to hold it up, and also little end thingy's, a good example would be the noble m12, large spoiler that is easy to see

Wheels:
a compus is a necesity, draw a large circle, then a slighty smaller one, there is the tire, mark the center point, and then make a small circle around that, thats your center cap, then come up with a spoke design, conect that to you center cap, and inner tire, if you want, and are able, draw a third cricle inside the tire, so that it is like a rim lip

I dont see how you used a compass unless youre talking about 2D. The wheels always have to be eliptical(sp?) in order to look realistic

Single point perspective, or the quick 'n' easy method.

1) - draw line
2) - draw on your ellipses (ovals) which will be the wheels. Ideally the front wheel should be more "open" that the rear wheel e.g. rounder. (take a coin or something, look at face - that is "open". Turn the coin 90° so that you can see the edge, that is "closed")
3) - map out where you car body will go
4) - add all the details etc.
5) - rinse, repeat etc. Practice makes perfect, or near enough.

Due to perspective, there should be a wider space between the nearest side of the vehicle to the centre line, than from the centre line of the far side.


Thanks for the good method(i always wanted to draw like that!)

Trying to capture "deep dish" rims and a "wide body" kit... our latest competition on GTP is the lancia so here's mine.

If any of you guys would like to join our competition please visit the Drawing Competitions Area (http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=133), we always welcome new people there! :D

What did you use to color that?

The body is Pastel, Rims colored pencil and almost all the black areas are marker. The light grey like in the interior area is also marker.

I guess if your starting out I'd suggest buy individually unless you know your gonna use a whole collection later on. I got mine as a present so I'm putting it to use. I don't normally like pastel because anything messy mixed with being left handed is grounds for a desaster.

I was working on a Noble M12 using black pastel but it got really really messy so I threw it out and haven't been able to get back to it yet. The only other "good" drawings I have are really old side views when I couldn't do 3/4. I'll try to do sketches and stuff and post them here. :D:tup:

riiiiiiiight

and by the way, you generally draw the general body shape, then the refined body shape, then wheel shapes, then gradually refine both, then add details

Well you might, but every professional tip I have received says:
Start with wheels.

Filton High School, where they don't teach English, apparently.
Or they do, but someone is too busy drawing HKS stickers. :rolleyes:

Nice! I always like your body designs, but I especially see you falter in rims-they just look flimsy or kind of scraggy, or just off proportion, kind of like the Coronet for the GTP comp a while ago. :p

These are semi new... I was mostly practicing perspective. I've basically got that done so now I'm just focusing on wheels which I'm obviously horrible at. Canay will be doing a tutorial but I thought I'd get other people's advice too. Thanks

Since I can still draw a little better (ha ha... whatever) than I can PS I thought it was easier to draw my version of what the Charger should be. My inspiration is from Suzq's Charger (http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19843) Thread. :D

Oh and while I'm at it... I drew a version of a member's car from here (http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?p=1974946#post1974946)

start from (your)right headlight and work left and up after completion of the front end. then get to the 3/4 pillar and work on the windows, wheels,ground, and molding. The 2nd and 3rd steps need to followed in order, to avoid looking bad, and add the details. Trust me. I do this in every period in class whenever the teacher isn't watching for the past 5 years.

been awhile again, I got back into draw and experimented with Pastel. Pink was random but nobody has liked it so far.

I like it. You say you colored that with oil pastels? Waaaaaay too messy and smeary for me. Although they give everything a bolder look. I like it, im taking studio art at my high school this semester. Ive been drawing for a while and just got started in chops. But if i draw any cars ill post them.:)
