Basic steps for a side view car sketch
Hi friends, lots of car design passionates would love to draw cars, to show their own ideas about
design taste and drawing ability. Here I publish 3 drawings that show
the important steps to make to get a good side view car
sketch. First of all before drawing we must think about good
proportions because in car design proportions are the most important
element to start a good car design project. To do so we will use the
wheel size to make a wheel base and the height of our car. To make it
easy, we will draw a city car as shown in the illustration.
You can see how I use the wheel to draw the base of our city car. Once
we have the wheel base and we know how tall the car will be. We start to
make a rough outline of the center section (Y0) which will give us the
main volume of the car and its attitude on wheels, for last we will draw
a line to indicate the belt line making sure that it will not be too
high and not too low.
Step 1
Step 2
In the illustration "step 2" we
will re-draw on the main outline trying to insert some details like:
side windows, pillars, front and rear graphics (lights), good shadow on
the ground outline, and
some lines to indicate body reflections and glass reflections.
In the
illustration "step 3" we define better some details
like wheel design and some cut lines (door lines and bumber lines). The
last thing we will do is to use a black marker for the car shadow on the
ground and pillars (from line reflection going down).
We use a light
cold or warm gray color for body reflection and glass reflection, we
use the same marker once again to give depth creating a shading
effect from top to down and at the end we use a black pencil color or a
black ink Bic pen to give extra shading using the cross atching
technique (crossing lines).
Voila! The side view car
sketch is ready, now my demo is a neutral one in fact there is no
design or creativity in it, just try to copy it following the 3 steps
with discipline and apply your
creativity!
