Draw it step by step

Six steps to a car

New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.

1

Start with the body

Draw a long box with round corners. Scoop out two curves along the bottom — that is where the wheels go.

2

Add the roof

One curvy hill on top of the box, flat in the middle.

3

Two big wheels

A fat circle in each scoop, so the car can roll away.

4

Cut the windows

Two windows inside the roof, with a gap in the middle for the door.

5

A door and a light

One line down the middle for the door, a little handle beside it, and a light at the back.

6

Finishing touches

A hubcap in each wheel, a bright headlight at the front, and three speed lines behind. Now this car is yours.
