How to Draw Cars from the Cartoon Movie Cars

This movie was a big hit. If you are a fan of the movie you may be thinking about drawing some or all of the characters from the movie. This can be a fun and rewarding experience. Anyone can draw; it will take a little practice but do not give up. You can draw one car by them self or a few together. You should try and give your drawing a little special touch to make it truly yours.

How to Draw Cars from the Cartoon Movie Cars

When you start your drawing it is a good idea to have a reference picture of the car you want to draw. If you do have a reference picture you can draw a grid over the picture and then draw the same grid on your paper only larger. This will give you some guidelines to use and you know that your drawing will be proportionate. The cartoons in Cars have some very distinct details and you want to be sure that you have them at the right angle and in the right place.

Once you know which character you want to draw you can get started. You can go with the grid like mentioned earlier or chose to freehand, or use an outline to go by. If you are comfortable with freehand then I would suggest that you do the basics for the whole car and then go into detail. If you focus on one area and then get to the next and realize that there was a mistake it will take you longer to correct the error. The other choice is to make a light out line of the entire car and it’s basic features. Then go into details from there.

You want to be sure that you capture the outstanding features of these cars in your drawings. The mouth of each car gives you an idea of their mood and personality. The eyes are also very important; you want to be sure that you have them aligned just right. Then the most complex part of each car will be the difficult part. You need to get the rust of Mater, or the advertising stickers of Lightning McQueen. This will give your drawing the best quality. Now it is time for you to add your own special touch to the drawing. This is where you can have some fun. Place the cars in an unusual location or with other cartoon characters to give a different atmosphere.

Have fun with the drawing and make it special. Find your inspirational picture and get started.
