How to draw a Ferrari - a Step by Step Guide

1. Draw a light outline to help you better position different parts of the car.

 Figuring out how to keep the proportions may be hard at first, but some techniques and tools you may use are:
1. A grid system
2. A finger or an object to use as measurement
3. Guidelines outlining the major vectors dominating the object
   
   (These will be discussed in another post in more detail)
   
   
2. Next reinforce the outlines you have drawn and add more details, to the wheels and add the car logo.
   
   
3. Start the shading on a large surface whose reflections are easy to figure out.
   NOTE: Cars reflect light back a lot like blurry, bent mirrors. So even a small difference of angle may change how you need to shade the material. Keep your shading direction consistent and use it to highlight the aerodynamics of the car. In most situations a well shaded object (depending on the material) should always let us relatively accurately pinpoint the position of the source of light, which in this case is the top left hand side corner.
   
   
4. NOTE: Always try picturing how an actual, real life light source would interact with the angles and the material of the object. If you go by this rule, it should be natural that when you continue the shading, parts below the natural the "line of bend", will have a considerably darker shade of grey as direct light can't reach those parts.
   

   
5.  Finally: Sometimes nitpicking and patience pay off. In our drawing if you look very close you may notice that the rims are not just coloured plain black, but were rather given a pattern, then coloured dark grey. This also applies to the front of the car were the small dots were patiently drawn one by one then shaded in, to give the drawing that little bit of extra realism it needs to move to a higher league.
   
   
6. Voilà, you've drawn a perfect Ferrari. Don't forget, to get even better at drawing, all you need is 3 things. Practice, practice, practice. So now go check out a different tutorial then a day or two later draw this one again. Also don't forget to share this with your friends and comment on what you would like to see drawn in the next tutorial :)
