LESSON NOTES
What's in Premium?
I will show you how to draw cars in perspective without using complicated math. Using a 1947 Triumph Roadster as our subject, I break the entire process down into simple boxes and vanishing points. You will learn how to sketch loosely and confidently without relying on rulers.
I also cover how to render tricky details like shiny chrome and rubber tires. I use a mix of ballpoint and brush pens to create a painterly effect. You will see exactly how to use line weight to show depth and overlap in your sketches. I even show you how to fix mistakes on the fly by adjusting your lines and adding details.

Took me a bit and the perspective is a little off, but I learned a lot from following along. I watched the video once then drew along with Rembert while watching again. Will be redoing this a couple time with different cars.
Helpful video cars can always be a pain to draw here is my take on the lesson and one from reference mistake stand out but I will get there

Hey nice job on these! Your linework is very smooth and I like that you are rendering with the perspective of the forms in mind.
In the future, focus on creating a more solid initial grid for your vanishing points and convergence lines in the initial stages, as your forms are a bit off the mark and not distorted enough for the perspective you've chosen, especially in your second one.
The left side of the front bumper should be facing towards us more, like your back wheel. As of right now, they are facing off to the right, when the rest of your car faces more towards us. I've created an overlay of a grid with your vanishing points in mind, so that you can see where your forms don't match up.
You put so much love in this, I can tell 🙂 I love it
With a car, it helped me to draw from Miniatur Model or from digital 3D Models (as on sketchfab or Zolly App) https://sketchfab.com/search?q=car&type=models
Front weel probably too small , but funny. Used to hate perspective And now feels like we could be best friends ;)
That was pretty tough, but fun! I did get lost at times due to how many lines I had on the page, but I think it turned out pretty good.

Hey thanks for submitting! You've got the perspective of the main body of the car down pretty well.
Looking at your forms, my advice would be to include more perspective lines when drawing out your initial grid. This will help you keep track of your proportions. The top part of your windshield, for instance, does not match the perspective of the rest of the car. It goes below the horizon line so it should lead into your vanishing point to the right.
In this overlay, you can see how your forms compare to a solid grid.
I def need to practice many more but once again thank you for sharing your knowledge! Doing the work really make sense after a few attempts !
My first car drawing in decades. 😂 I used an alcohol marker after using the ball pen, it creates an interesting blue color to the black ball pen. I don’t like use my spit lol 🙈 Then I did thicker lines with the ink brush pen.
I think the last time I draw a car was when I was 13 and I drew one for my father. I'm not that intrested in cars but I tried it and found a car that I found cute. First I wanted to draw a japanese Kei car. Maybe I try this tomorrow, because it looks more simple compared to the Mazda Carol from the 60s that I chose.
I think I made my B focal point too high so it looks that the car stands on an angle. Also my first attempt was way too wide looking 😅
Maybe it helps when I put a box around the reference picture, so the box will be similar to my drawing. So it will be a little more accurate next time. I think my perspective was way to off compared to the reference. I don't know. It is really hard for me anyways to draw anything technical related because it is not that interesting to me.
Can't wait to start the topic with the organic shapes where I have a lot more joy and intrest in. But I try to do this chapter anyways, because who knows, maybe I will suddenly like it or it helps me to understand anything else better that will help me for later 👍
I don’t know if anyone noticed. There was a creepy robotic voice sometimes in the video and it said "pizza" at one point. I don’t know who or what it was… 🤔

This is looking quite solid, very good attempt! I would definitely say try keeping your horizon line straight across, as opposed to angling it (unless you're going for a tilted camera angle). It seemed like the tilt confused you a bit and made your drawing lose some structure; don't be afraid to redraw or restart as needed to make sure you're getting the most out of your exercises. Restarting when you feel like the drawing is too far gone is an incredible tool that will help you progress much quicker! In terms of getting the proportion right on the car, try relating the different chunks of your subject to each other; for example, I see that the front part of the car is roughly 1/3rd of the length of the car. You can relate different elements of the picture to one another, and replicate those relationships in your drawing! It's also good that you're realizing you're not the biggest fan of drawing 'technical' subjects because it means that more likely than not, it's an area where you can still improve a lot! I'd encourage you to delve into the things that are uncomfortable for you, and you might be surprised by how much it'll actually improve the things that you are comfortable with! Good luck, thank you for following along!
Tried to follow along , definitely need to practice this morning, and pay attention to details better! Great video . Can’t wait for the next one
Lots of good tips in this video. I can already see the mistakes I have made in this sketch, such as the top right side of the car does not hit the same vanishing point and the lower left portion of the car causing there to be a weird turning of the car body. As well as I kind of messed up the back of the car in general, as the scaling is off.
Also really struggle with ellipses on the wheels of cars and just ellipses in perspective in general.
But good video and it's good to see a first hand demo of some perspective drawing!

Wonderful work!
