How to Draw a Corvette
Corvettes
are known for their smooth style, lean looks and speedy performance. Show off
your style by learning how to draw this cool car.
In this
section, we'll show you how to draw this Corvette. You can draw it freehand
while looking at your
computer monitor, or you can print out this page to get a
closer look at each step.
Here,
we'll show you an illustration of each step and then give you a description of
how to draw it. Follow the red lines in each illustration to learn exactly what
to draw in that step. The lines drawn in previous steps are shown in gray.
Step 1:
Draw the
passenger’s side of the car as a large rectangle with a slanted right side and
two ovals for wheels. Above this structure, form the windshield and side
windows using two slanted rectangles. For the front of the car, place a smaller
slanted rectangle to the right side of the lower rectangle.
Step 2:
Sketch a
curved line to form the roof. From the bottom of each tire, draw a straight line
that curves upward to show the width of the tire. Add hubcaps to each tire by
drawing an oval surrounding six curved triangles. Place a half circle above the
front tire to form the wheel well. In front of the rear tire, sketch a curved
line for part of the wheel well. Smooth off the rear of the car using another
curved line. Under the front end of the car, form the third wheel using a half
circle and a curved line.
Step 3:
Add the
sideview mirror by using an odd-shaped oval with a curved line under it. To
form the roof supports, draw three upright lines that slant to your right and
one that slants to your left. From right to left, sketch one straight line
inside the side window. Draw five straight lines and two curved lines in the
windshield.
Step 4:
For side
lights, place one small rectangle near the front of the car and an even smaller
rectangle by the rear. Behind the front tire, draw two upright rectangles that
are curved. From right to left, use three straight horizontal lines for the
side moldings. Add two curved upright lines for the doors.
Step 5:
Draw a
straight line between the tires near the bottom of the side of the car. Place a
thin darkened triangle ("bumper shroud") ahead of the front tire. Sketch three
lines to show the edges of the front end. Add two partially darkened rectangles
for the fog lights and turn signals. Between these rectangles, draw another
rectangle for the license plate panel. Use several curved lines and an oval to
show the folding headlight covers and to finish the front hood. Form the door
handle using a small rectangle with a black bottom half. Darken the tires,
curved triangles on the two hubcaps, steering wheel, and car interior.
Your
car drawing is finished! Even if you don't get it right the first time, keep
practicing until you're happy with your drawing. Ferraris are among the most amazing cars ever made. Learn how to draw a Ferrari in the next section.
