How to Draw a Car

Step 1: Bumpy car body

Start low on the left. Draw one bumpy hill: nose, bonnet, big dome, small boot. Stop low on the right.

Tip One smooth line, no kinks. Both ends stop at the same height.

Step 2: Arches and tyres

Start where you stopped. Draw 2 rainbow arches, back to the nose. Tuck a big round tyre up into each arch.

Tip Each tyre starts and stops at the ends of its arch. Add a hub circle with a dot.

Step 3: Big headlight eye

On the bonnet near the nose, draw a big round headlight eye. Add a black pupil and 2 white shines.

Tip Keep a ring of body all round the eye.

Step 4: Windows

Start on the windscreen. Draw a rainbow just inside the dome, back to the start. Add 2 slanted pillars.

Tip Keep a strip of body between the window and the dome.

Step 5: Smile and bumper

Start under the eye. Draw a bold U smile curling up to the nose. Add a cheek and a bumper.

Tip The bumper starts on the nose and stops back on the nose.

Step 6: Door and handle

Start at the bottom of the back pillar. Draw a line down to the back arch. Add a pill handle.

Step 7: Tail light and pipe

Draw an oval tail light on the boot. Start low on the back, draw a short pipe, stop on it.

Tip Add a 3-bump puff cloud floating behind the pipe.

Step 8: The road

Start in front of the nose. Draw a road line under the tyres, and stop under the puff.

Tip The road just touches the tyres.

Step 9: Blue windows, yellow lights

Colour the windows sky blue, leaving a white shine stripe on the windscreen. Colour both lights yellow.

Step 10: Colour the car red

Colour the body red around the windows, lights and handle, and the cheek pink.

Step 11: Grey bits, black tyres

Go over your lines. Colour the bumper, handle, pipe, puff and hubs grey, then the tyres black around the hubs.
