Learn to Draw Cars - I Drew 101 Cars Over 16 months (Progression)

More than a year ago, I decided to improve my sketching skills (and start a YouTube channel), so I set a goal to draw 101 cars.

It took a lot longer than I expected, but I drew them all!

I recognize that my starting sketch is already more advanced than most sketchers, but thought you might enjoy seeing the progression that comes with (semi)consistent practice!

Do you want to learn?

If you're trying to learn to draw cars, the best advice I can give is to consistently practice every day.

Subjects to study are: wheel proportions of common vehicles, 2-point perspective, and ellipses.

I also recommend drawing on cheapo printer paper, so you can use your previous sketches as underlays. Many of the sketches in this video were drawn 4 or 5 times before I scanned the "final" sketch. I'll sketch the car on one side of a piece of paper(1), then flip that piece of paper over and draw the mirror image(2). Then I'll lay a piece of paper over that second sketch and draw it again(3). Then I'll flip that second piece of paper over and draw a mirror image(4), I then may get another piece to draw the final image(5). One of the most valuable skills you can learn is the ability to see and correct your own mistakes. The cheaper the paper, the less you care about messing up and the more you can experiment and learn.

The pens I used include: cheap bics, cheap markers, expensive markers, cheap papermate flairs, primsacolor pencils and more. I know you won't believe me, but it really doesn't matter what you draw with.
