    Let's go ! Click the right arrow to start.

  • Step 1

    » You need a detailed sketch to begin.

    » If necessary, check the topic "Draft" to color your own sketch.

    » Otherwise, you can download the basic outline here.

  • Step 2

    » Fine down the sketch.

    NB : This step is not necessary. It provides a clearer result but less dynamic.

    It's up to you...

  • Step 3

    » I use first light colors.

    » Remember to keep white areas to create a reflection effect.

    » Don't pay too much attention to the outlines of yout sketch. It allows to create movement... Color quickly !

  • Step 4

    » Now use darker colors to create the shadows of the body.

    » Color the details such as lights, tyres, etc... with the same technics as the body : light colors first, then the dark ones.

  • Step 5

    » Use black ballpoint pen to show the details (doors, outline of windows, wheels).

    » Add blue to create the reflection of the sky on the windows and mirrors.

    NB : I didn't detail the front wheel so that the drawing seems deeper.

  • Step 6

    » Now we have to create the background of the drawing. The ground and the shadow were already created in the previous step.

    » Write the name of the car and create the background to finish your drawing.

  • That's all folks !

    » You can practice coloring on the sketch available here.

    » But the aim is to start designing your own project !
