In the design of racing cars, every little thing is subordinated to one goal - speed. Ideal for fast driving, the shape most closely resembles a sideways rocket with wheels. These "rockets" are rushing along the race track, and it seems that there are no and cannot be obstacles for them. The smooth lines of the body, the small streamlined cab are ideally suited exclusively for fast driving. Before drawing such a car, look at it in motion during the broadcast of a Formula 1 race. Racing cars, of course, are constantly changing, but even a post-war car has a very characteristic appearance, this is a racing car, and no other. So all the cars can be drawn according to the same principle, and only then add details characteristic of a particular era.
It is necessary
- - paper;
- - a simple pencil;
- - gouache;
- - colour pencils.
Instructions
Step 1
Start drawing the car with a pencil sketch. It is best to lay the paper horizontally. Draw a straight line parallel to the bottom edge of the sheet. In this case, it is better to take a hard pencil so that it gives a thin, barely noticeable line. Divide this line into 8 equal parts by eye, so it will be easier for you to keep the proportions. Determine which direction your car is going. At the back, draw a circle 1/8 of the line's length or slightly more. Count 2 segments from the other end of the line, and draw exactly the same circle in the third.
Step 2
Count two more "octopuses" from the rear wheel and draw a vertical line. Its height from the main contour is approximately equal to two lengths of the segments you marked. This will be the back wall of the cockpit. Draw a short line from the resulting point towards the rear wheel. Divide the rear wheel into 4 parts with barely noticeable lines, drawing the vertical and horizontal diameters. Imagine that the circle is a dial, and find a point on it, located on the clock in the middle between the numbers "12" and "3". Use a smooth line to connect this point to the end of a short horizontal line.
Step 3
Draw the rest of the cockpit. To do this, divide the existing vertical line in half. Just above this mark, draw a line parallel to the main horizontal, first to a point opposite the middle of this horizontal, and then another 1/8 part towards the fairing. Then draw the line up, the front line of the cab should be half the length of the back. Round off the lower corners of the cabin.
Step 4
Draw the nose cone. From the front edge of the main contour, draw up a line approximately equal to 1/3 of the "measured line". Connect this point with a smooth line to the upper point of the front line of the pilot's cabin. The contour of the car is ready, it remains only to put it in the cockpit, drawing his round head in a helmet.
Step 5
Decide which team car you are drawing. Colors play a huge role. Since most Formula 1 cars are embellished with all sorts of inscriptions, additional details on the body may simply not be visible. If you are drawing, for example, a red Ferrari or another one-color car, then some details will have to be drawn. Since gouache is opaque, you can do this after you paint the car and the paint is dry. Draw a light line of darker than base color from the tip of the fairing to the front wheel and then continue to the cockpit. Paint the tires of the wheels black and the inner parts white or silver. Write the number on the fairing with white paint - only part of it is visible from the side. Trace the outlines of the car with a pencil of the same color as the gouache.
