How to Draw a Toy Car
Gather Materials
The first step in drawing a toy car is to gather the necessary materials. You will need the following:

- Pencils.
- Paper.
- An eraser.
- Rulers.
- Colored pencils.Â
Having a reference image or toy car on hand is also a good idea to use as a guide.
Sketch the wheel

The next step is to sketch the outline by drawing the car’s wheel. Start by drawing the car’s basic shape, including the body, roof, and wheels.Â
- Draw two circles apart from each other.
- Draw mini circles inside of drawn circles.
- Join both circles from two horizontal lines.
- It should look like the above picture.
Use a ruler to ensure that the proportions are correct. Don’t worry too much about the details at this stage; focus on getting the basic shape right.
Add Details
Once you have the basic outline of the car, it’s time to add the details.Â
Draw the doors, windows, and other features of the car. Pay attention to the small details, such as the headlights, taillights, and exhaust pipes. All you have to do is:

- Draw semi-circles on both sides of the wheels. As shown in the above picture.

- Now start drawing a semi-circle from 1 end of the car. But the semi-circle should be curved from the start. Thus, it will look at the car front, as shown in the above picture.

- Now draw two semi-circles from the front and back. Thus, it will look at the front and back lights, as shown in the above picture.


You can use a reference image or toy car to help you get the details right.
Draw the door of the car.
Now move towards drawing a door. For this, all you have to do is:
- Draw a vertical line from the center of the car., as shown in the above picture.
- Now draw a horizontal line from mid of the vertical line.
- Now draw a semi-circle from the vertical line. As shown in picture 3.
- Draw a fourth part of the circle. As shown in picture 3.
- Draw a mini square. It will look at a door handle. As shown in picture 4.
Shade and Color

Once you have added the details, it’s time to shade and color the car. Use a pencil or colored pencils to add shadows and highlights to the car.Â
This will help to give the car depth and dimension. You can also use colored pencils to add color to the car. Be sure to choose colors that complement each other.
Add Finishing Touches
To add the finishing touches to the drawing, use a white pen or marker to create highlights and shadows. This will help to make the car look even more three-dimensional.Â
You can also add other details, such as license plates or logos.
Frame the Drawing
Finally, you can frame the drawing for display purposes. This is a great way to show off your work and add a personal touch to your home or office.
