Hey there! Are you ready to draw an awesome car? Today, we’re going to learn how to draw the super cool McLaren 720S. It’s a fast and fancy sports car that will look amazing on your paper. So, grab your markers, paper, and coloring tools, and let’s get started!
First, let’s draw the wheels. Since we’re looking at the car from the front, draw two straight lines for the sides of the wheels. Make sure they are the same size and put them near the edges of your paper.
Next, we need to draw the fenders. These are the parts that go over the wheels. Start on the right side and draw a curve that goes in a little and then out to meet the tire. Do the same thing on the left side, making sure both sides look the same.
Now, let’s draw the body of the car. Start with a slanted line coming from the fender on each side. Then, draw another slanted line going down on both sides. Make sure both sides match!
For the windshield, you might need to turn your paper a bit. Draw a small curve at the bottom to connect the two slanted lines. Then, draw two more slanted lines at the top and connect them with a gentle curve.
Let’s add the headlights! Draw a curve near each wheel. Make a triangle shape for the headlight, but round the corners so they aren’t too sharp. Do this on both sides.
Now, let’s draw the lower intakes. Start with a slanted line going towards the headlight. Then, draw a curve to connect these lines and add smaller shapes on each side.
In the middle of the hood, draw a tiny rectangle for the emblem. Then, draw a ‘V’ shape on both sides of the hood for the air extractors.
For the mirrors, draw a straight line above the front wheels. Make a curve going up and then draw the outer shape of the mirror. Connect it to the car with a neck that curves in.
Let’s finish the car’s body! Draw the back fender by connecting it to the front fender with a curve. Extend the lines down for the tires, making sure they connect back to the car. Draw the back tires a bit higher to make it look like they’re further away.
Now it’s time to color your car! Use markers for bright colors and colored pencils for shading. You can use orange for the car’s body, gray for the inside, and white for the headlights. Add black and red for shadows to make it look 3D.
Yay! You’ve drawn a McLaren 720S! Remember, the more you practice, the better you’ll get. Try drawing it again and have fun with your art. Keep creating and enjoy the process!
Car Design Exploration: Take a walk around your neighborhood or look at pictures of different cars online. Notice the different shapes and sizes of the cars’ wheels, fenders, and bodies. Draw a picture of your favorite car and compare it to the McLaren 720S you drew. What are the similarities and differences? Share your drawings with a friend or family member and discuss what makes each car unique.
Build a Car Model: Use clay or playdough to create a 3D model of the McLaren 720S. Start by shaping the wheels, then add the body, fenders, and other details like the headlights and mirrors. Once your model is complete, paint it using the colors you used in your drawing. This hands-on activity will help you understand the car’s structure and design better.
Color and Light Experiment: Gather different colored papers or fabrics and a flashlight. Shine the flashlight on each color and observe how the light changes the appearance of the color. Try this with the colors you used for your McLaren 720S drawing. How does light affect the way we see colors on the car? Discuss with a friend or family member how light and shadow can make a drawing look more realistic.
