To my surprise, I found that drawing cars is more difficult than drawing faces. I tried to sketch our RAV4 “quickly” but got the proportions a bit wrong. The challenge is that you draw the car standing next to it, and because of this, the perspective distortions are much stronger than with smaller objects at a greater distance. Additionally, the shape of a car is defined by a continuous array of intricately inclined planes and transitions between them, rarely aligning with the lines of perspective. Plus, specific details distinguish the car against other brands, and I still need to figure out which ones, other than the front of the car. Overall, it’s an interesting exercise that is still challenging, but I will keep trying. Luckily, there are always enough parked cars on the street.
