A car is a vehicle that people use to move and transport various goods. A car is an indispensable assistant to a person. Since childhood, children love to play with cars, because it is interesting and exciting.

In this article we will look at how to draw a car with a pencil. Take your children and all the necessary materials and tools and let's paint together.

Tools and materials

In order to draw a car, you will need a blank sheet of paper, a simple pencil and an eraser. If you have already prepared everything you need, then let's get to work!

How to draw a car step by step

1. First of all, draw a horizontal line that will serve as the road. On both sides we depict circles - wheels. Next, draw a rectangle that will serve as the base of the machine.
2. Draw the top of the car.
3. Using a vertical line, we divide the car into two parts: front and rear.
4. We draw headlights and a handle on the car door.
5. Now let's see how to draw a car wheel with a pencil. Inside the circle, draw another one, only smaller. Put a dot in the middle of this circle and draw lines from it in different directions.

Here's how easy it is to draw a car with a pencil. Now we need to color it. To do this, you will need colored pencils / felt-tip pens / paints / gouache. If you chose watercolors or gouache, then you will also need brushes and a jar of water. We paint the car in any desired color. We make the windows blue, the wheels black.

That's it, the car is ready!

Sports car

Now let's see how beautiful it is to draw a different kind of car with a pencil - a sports one.

1. Lay a blank sheet of paper horizontally and start drawing from a horizontal line at the bottom of the sheet. We carry it out from beginning to end, leaving very little space on the sides. From the left end, draw up another line with a slope to the right - this will be in front of the car. From the right end of the horizontal line, draw another one up with a slope to the left - this will be the rear of the car (this line should be twice as long as the one on the left).
2. Next, connect the lines on the sides with a wavy line representing the top of the car.
3. Now let's see how to draw a car wheel with a pencil. Draw two circles on both sides. With the help of an eraserrubber bands remove extra lines crossing the wheels.
4. Give smoothness to the vertical lines on the right and left.
5. Finishing the junction of the wheels.
6. Next, draw the glass of the car and finish the wheels. To do this, inside the circle, draw another smaller size than the first. We put a dot in the middle and draw a horizontal and vertical line through it so that we get a "plus sign".
7. We continue to draw the wheel. On each side of the plus sign lines, draw two more lines. Next, we depict the car door, at the same time we separate the front and back of the car. Draw the front and rear lights, as well as the contours of the rear window.
8. Let's go to the finish line. We finish the rear and front of the car, add side mirrors, door handle and so on, as shown in the picture above.

That's all, now you know how to draw a sports car in stages. It remains only to color it. Here, as in the previous version, the choice is also yours. Paint it any color you like.

Drawing with kids

Most likely, those variants of cars that we talked about above will be difficult for a child to depict, so we will discuss how to draw a car with a pencil for children.

1. First of all, you can draw guide lines - a plus sign, which will help you draw the car evenly. Next, draw two circles below the horizontal line.
2. Add some more circles inside. Connect the outer circles with a horizontal line.
3. Draw the frontand rear bumper.
4. We draw the body and the top of the car.
5. Adding two glasses: front and back.
6. Depicting the front and rear lights and side windows.
7. Adding bumpers at the top of the wheels. Here is the car and ready!
8. Now draw the road and background.

And - voila! The car is drawn. It remains only to color it.

Coloring the picture

We take felt-tip pens/pencils/paints/wax crayons and start coloring the finished drawing! You can start with the background. The road is painted grey. What's below - grass - into green. Color the rest of the background blue. We go directly to the car. The car can be made in any color - whatever the child wishes. Let's say red. We paint the wheels gray and the tires black. The windows of the car can also be painted blue, like the sky, as if it is reflected in them. Only the headlights remain - we make them yellow. That's it.

If your kid could not draw a car the first time or drew it sloppy/crooked/obliquely, do not laugh at him or make comments. You just need to try again and again: tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, a week later, and so on. In the end, everything will definitely work out. Support your child and show him your love and support in every possible way.
