Gentlemen, start your engines... race to the finish with these easy car drawing tutorials for kids.
What kind of car do you daydream about? Find a need for speed with an Indy-style racecar or a Nascar-style race car. Or hit the streets with your favorite sports car - including the iconic Lamborghini.
You can learn how to draw lots of different professional vehicles, too. Get ready to go back to school with a big yellow school bus or save the day with a fire engine and a police car.
Fun on the farm? There are vehicles for that, too. Plow and harvest with a tractor, or use a pickup truck to haul a load.
One thing you will notice while drawing these vehicles is what they all have in common. No matter the style of vehicle, they are basically rectangular in shape. They each have four wheels, which are circles with flair. Most also have roughly rectangular windows as well.
These tutorials have varying levels of difficulty and detail. Start with something easy and build your skills as you go along. Choose tutorials that have different perspectives - from the side, front, or at an angle - to really level up your abilities.
12 Easy Cars Drawing Ideas
Lightning McQueen
Lightning McQueen is a classic American-style racecar. These cars are known as stock cars because their parts are stock - all the same.
Firetruck
Firetrucks are among the largest emergency response vehicles. This one is a rectangular prism detailed with many rectangle shapes. On top is a ladder with a lattice of triangles on its side.
School Bus
Drawing this school bus is as elementary as the institution it services. The long bus has lots of windows, indicating many rows of seats for taking children to class.
Racecar
This is a European or Indy race car. Its body is trimmed down to be lightweight and fast. It doesn't have a cabin for the driver - you can see his helmeted head emerging from the center of the car.
Police Car
Police cars respond to emergencies and crimes. The light bar and siren let other cars know to get out of the way. This one is drawn in an exaggerated cartoon style.
Tractor
You'll think this tractor is sexy as it's tilling up the land. This detailed drawing includes the tractor's cabin, its smokestack, the manifold exhaust on the engine compartment, and the deep tread of the tire.
Car
This cute cartoon car is simple and a great way to build your skills. With headlight eyes, this character could accompany Lightning McQueen from Disney's Cars, above.
Truck
The front half of the truck is much like the front half of a car. It is the back that is different. Instead of a back seat and a trunk, it has an open-air bed.
Sports Car
This sleek sports car could be almost any make or model. Can you use the skills you learned here to make small adjustments, hinting at your favorite real-world car?
Monster Truck
Take the truck you drew above and put tires on it that are 5 feet tall. Then you will have the monster truck from this drawing.
Lamborghini
The Lamborghini consists of sleek lines and a few sharp corners. You can see how they all converge as you complete this tutorial.
Car Front View
Most of the cars on this list are viewed from the side, with a few in a 3/4 perspective. This one is viewed directly from the front, just line oncoming traffic.
