Draw it step by step

Six steps to a race car

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

1

Start with a long wedge

Draw a long, low body with a pointy nose. Scoop out two curves along the bottom, a small one and a big one.

2

Add two wheels

A small wheel in the front scoop and a big wheel in the back one.

3

Pop in the driver

A round helmet sits on top of the car. Add a little windscreen in front of it.

4

Add the back wing

Two posts stand up at the back, and a flat wing sits on top of them.

5

A visor and hubcaps

Draw the visor on the front of the helmet with one eye peeking out. Put a hubcap in each wheel.

6

Finishing touches

A big number circle on the side, and three speed lines behind. Now this race car is yours.

Go further

Now draw a race car built for a race on the moon.
