Drawing a simple car is very easy but drawing a realistic one can be very difficult. Artists and designers use their imagination to draw something that is unique and different from others. These days you get various books and article on the internet that can give you some easy tips through which you can draw any object that you desire, even if you are not very talented in the field of drawing.

Now I won't give away all the secrets I learned in the how to draw a car step by step guide, but here are some that you might find useful.

1. The journey is the destination - Too man people get all stressed about drawing cars that they do some really crappy drawings and give up. Take your time and relax, just enjoy the process and focus on improving... that's all! Before you know it, you will have some killer hand eye co-ordination and will be drawing cars like a pro.

2. Use grids to draw in sections - The use of a grid will greatly improve the accuracy of your drawings. Being able to work on your drawing only paying attention to one grid at a time gives you the ability to focus on all the minor details of your car without getting distracted. It also enables you to compare the line ratios and and proportions of your drawing, so it won't end up looking wonky and loose.

3. Draw a rough sketch - Before drawing the actual car you can easily draw a rough draft of your drawing. Make sure the outlines are very lightly drawn so that you can erase them after wards. This rough draft would help you in realizing your mistakes which you would definitely avoid in the fair one.

4. Patience my friend - This might seem like a bit of cliche, but learning how to be patient and correct your mistakes on a drawing you think is ruined is very important. If you give up on a drawing to quickly because it looks bad, your never going to learn how to draw a real car and make it look good.

5. Take the most care and time when shading - This step is the most time consuming part in the how to draw a car step by step instructions, depending on how good you want it to look. You will need to use a variety of different pencils to achieve the contrast in tones needed to get a nice metallic look. To get a good grasp on this, I'd suggest you going out and looking how light plays on cars and imagining it in black and white. Apply this to your drawings and it will be easier to envisage how your car should look. Remember to leave the highlights of your car unshaded to use the natural white of the paper to create that shiny look.

Doing all these steps without someone to show exactly how it's done is hard, but going to art lessons can be expensive and time consuming. However, there is a guide that can speed this up for you. - 32367
