Car Drawings

I am trying to improve my car drawing. These are quick inking of sketches I posted earlier. #drawing #illustration #inking #cars #oldcars

A few weeks ago I recalled that I liked Japanese cars a lot. I could stare at car pamphlets for hours. I even cut a few car pictures, glued them to a carton base, and put them on my desk. I cannot remember what exactly I liked about cars, but the recollection made me want to draw cars again.

I have never been good at drawing cars, so I took this time to improve. I sketched a few, collecting mental rules on cars.

I wanted to expand my visual vocabulary with cars, so I have been practicing. Right now I can fake a car (as in draw something that looks like a car, with inaccurate car proportions). Let me know what you think :) #drawing #car #bus #pencil #practice

I started off with wrong proportions: the window height is too close to the door height (see the sedans on the upper-left corner). Next, I tend to draw narrow cars, making them look cartoony.

Right now I still have difficulty drawing modern sedans. They have very complex curves (compared to the cars I drew so far, which are blocky).

Do you like cars? What do you think about cars? Let me know in the comments below :)
