How to Draw an RC Car

Step 1: Nose, roof and boot

Start low on the left. Draw 1 bumpy hill: nose, bonnet, roof dome, boot. Stop low on the right.

Tip One smooth stroke: bonnet low, dome high, boot small.

Step 2: The window

From above the bonnet, draw a rainbow window inside the dome, straight back along the bottom to the start.

Step 3: Face in the window

Draw 2 big eyes and a U smile inside the window.

Tip Press harder for the smile so it stays bold when coloured.

Step 4: Belly and arches

From the back, draw 2 rainbow arches with a flat belly between, ending at the nose.

Step 5: Two tyres

Under each arch, draw a big round tyre with a small hub circle in the middle.

Step 6: Headlight and bumper

Draw a big round headlight on the bonnet. From the nose, draw a C bumper back to it.

Step 7: Door and tail light

From the window's back, draw a door line down to the back arch. Add a handle and a tail light.

Step 8: Tall aerial

From the back of the roof, draw a straight aerial leaning up, stopping high up, with a ball on top.

Step 9: The remote control

Beside the car, draw a joystick box with a button. From its top, draw an aerial up to roof height.

Tip Stand the joystick up on a little dome, with its ball on top.

Step 10: Road and signal

Draw a straight road under the car and the remote. Add 2 signal arcs by the aerial ball.

Tip Keep the road just touching the tyres so the car doesn't float.

Step 11: Lights and window

Colour the lights yellow with a white shine, and the window sky blue around the face. Leave the eyes white.

Step 12: Grey bits

Colour the hubs, bumper, door handle and remote grey, around the joystick ball and the button.

Step 13: Red car, black tyres

Colour the car and the button red, then the tyres and 3 balls black, around the coloured parts.
