Great Tutorial! I always wanted to learn how to draw a car. What I really love about this post is that it goes into detail, what I mean by detail is the shiny reflection that cars have and things like that I love it! A lot of drawing tutorials teach you just the basics but this one really stands out! I give it a A++
Katie on Mon, 30th May 2011 12:08 pm
Amazing article! I have been having difficulty with drawing cars more realistically. I just depended on my ability in drawing, but, I lacked the techniques that could make cars look real in every aspect. I hope that by following this, one day, I can achieved drawing my fave Bentley car.
