What you need
Steps
Lightly draw a wide rectangle for the body and a narrower box on top for the cabin. Keep the car low and wide, since the M4 CSL has a strong, squat stance.
Mark a vertical centre line down the middle. Place the two kidney grilles evenly on either side of it so the front looks symmetrical.
Sketch the kidney grille outlines as two tall rounded rectangles that lean slightly forward at the top. Keep the lines light for now.
Draw the headlights as slim, angled shapes on each side of the grilles. Add the small inner details and the daytime running light strips.
Shape the front bumper with the large lower intake and the side air vents. Add the splitter line along the bottom edge.
Draw the bonnet with two soft crease lines running back from the grilles. Add the windscreen and the roofline above.
Place the wheels and arches so the front tyres sit just outside the body line. Check that both sides match before going darker.
Erase the guide lines and centre line. Go over the main outlines with a firmer pencil stroke to make the car look sharp.
Add light shading under the bumper, inside the grilles and along the lower body. Use a soft pencil and blend with your finger or a tissue.
Darken the grille slats, headlight edges and wheel shadows for contrast. Leave the bonnet and roof mostly light to suggest shine.
Tips and common mistakes
Keep your first lines very light so you can fix proportions without smudging the paper.
Compare the width of the grilles to the headlights often, since that ratio makes the car look like a BMW.
Shade in one direction and build up slowly instead of pressing hard straight away.
Use a soft 2B pencil for the dark grille and a hard HB for the fine body lines.
Questions
Do I need to be good at drawing to follow this?
No. The drawing is built from simple boxes and centre lines, so a beginner can follow it step by step. Expect your first try to look rough and improve with a second attempt.
What pencil should I use for the shading?
An HB pencil works for the outlines and a 2B or 4B gives darker shadows. A normal eraser and a piece of tissue for blending are enough.
How long does the drawing take?
Most beginners finish in about 30 minutes. Take longer on the grille and headlights, since those details make the car recognisable.
