The Tutorial: Line art — Description
Okay, just so you know you're able to draw it as well.
Mainly this is for the people who saying i can't draw cars at all. You can Just draw a box in the end.

Drawing a car

Of course, we probably going to start with a simple car design, normally thats a sedan car. Im not sure if the box trick is going to work with lambos or other exotic cars. No promises since i didn't try myself, but you can try to do it.

Step 1)Draw a brick/box

2) Start to draw the roof and the windshield.
Here i started it on 1/3 for the whole box length leaving the space on the hood. The hood is important and usually longer than a trunk.
It can be steep, it can be low/ high. But you should fit it to your Oc. Or first just try something random.
I started to draw my Oc Max.

3)Draw gaps for the wheels
Look at the photo if you need help to locate it, don't forget to compare their size and if one is closer to us -it should be bigger.
Clean your line art removing the lines that we can't see anymore (we added the roof)
My Oc not so angular as the box, so i gave it some round shape (blue lines). Not big change still as you see.
He also doesn't need a long back so i removed this extra length.

4)Adjust
Using the lines that we just drew before (a blue one) we start to make original one to look like newest and remove the sharp angles, we don't need it anymore. Draw the mirrors and look what else you can fix until you feel satisfied.

5) Draw the eyes, mouth, hood line, radiator, mirrors..
Add some lines on the car's side, it will make it look not so empty. Now it should look done to you,, except...

6) The wheels
Add the wheels in the gap, can google again if need help to locate it. Detail the headlights, eyes. Give it some tunning and the paint job.

The sketch is done. Do i use this way myself? No, i can start it right from 6. But it wasn't like that all the time and i had to practice while i even didnt have this tutorial. I only created it when i already drew good enough. I also wish i knew how to draw eyes earlier, but oh well. Learned on my own mistakes

I already described good enough about how to draw the eyes. So i won't repeat here.

The last step is to make our sketch into clean line art. I used a tool curve in the program SAI. If you don't know how to use this tool you can find it on YouTube. Nothing hard i believe. Or just draw clean line art over the sketch using your hand, if you are lucky enough

Good luck. I hope it will help to somebody.
