Video: Pinewood Derby/ Toy Car Sketch Demo

We’ve had quite a few requests on how to draw cars, and while I am no exotic car designer, I can draw a mean pinewood derby/toy car. The principles are the same – basic perspective, good line quality and line weight, proper control of your tool, and relax while you sketch. As you watch the video, noticehow I start sketching this more complex object by drawing a box to establish the overall perspective before moving on to the more interesting details.

My bad. I regularly use an intuos 3 tablet, hence my mistake/mixup. I find no significant advantage either way.

Hot Wheels is an iconic brand of die-cast toy that has become a pop culture icon. Although the Hot Wheels brand name has been licensed by several companies over the years, its trademark flame icon as well as its detailed scale models have taken on a life of their own, and has helped keep the brand alive for more than 50 years.
