What you need
Steps
Draw a light horizontal line across the middle of the page. This is your centre line and keeps the car symmetrical as you build it.
Sketch two light rectangles side by side for the body. Make them wider than tall, with the lower edge slightly narrower to suggest the front bumper.
Add a shallow trapezoid on top for the windscreen and roof. Keep the lines faint so you can adjust the proportions.
Place two small circles low on the body for the front wheels. Check that both sit at the same height on the centre line.
Draw the kidney grille in the middle of the front: two tall rounded rectangles joined at the centre. Keep them narrow and even.
Sketch the headlights on each side of the grille. Use angled, slightly slanted shapes to get the aggressive BMW look.
Shape the front bumper below the grille with a wide lower intake and two small side vents. Round the outer corners.
Refine the body lines: smooth the bonnet, add the wheel arches and draw a crease along the side of the car.
Darken the final outlines with firm pencil strokes. Erase the construction lines and centre line once the shape looks right.
Add shading under the bumper, inside the grille and around the wheels. Blend lightly with a tissue for a smooth finish.
Tips and common mistakes
Keep every early line light so mistakes are easy to erase.
Check symmetry by holding the page at arm's length or looking at it in a mirror.
Draw the wheels before the body details so the car sits level.
Shade in one direction and build up layers slowly instead of pressing hard.
Questions
Do I need special drawing paper?
No. Plain printer paper works fine. Smooth paper gives cleaner lines, but any paper you have is enough to start.
How do I get the grille the same on both sides?
Draw the centre line first and measure the grille width from it on each side. Faint construction lines make it much easier.
Can I use a pen instead of a pencil?
Yes, but a pencil is better for beginners because you can erase the construction shapes. If you use a pen, sketch very lightly first.
