Vehicles have always been a struggle for me so over these past days I’ve been practicing the basic shapes and anatomy of cars and motorcycles. Still have a long way to go, but I was happy with these short freehand sketches. Definitely noticed I gotta work on proportions, line confidence, and those damn wheels! Cylinders are hard
LESSON NOTES
What's in Premium?
Learn how Peter Han draws a locomotive from imagination without reference. In this lesson, he demonstrates his approach to sketching complex subjects by:
- Planning the sketch through mental visualization and hand gestures to map out composition.
- Establishing proportions using ground lines and simple shapes to lay the foundation.
- Constructing views, starting with a side view to understand proportions, then moving to a three-quarter angle.
- Adding details efficiently by focusing on big shapes, using landmarks, and applying shadows and hatching.
- Emphasizing the role of muscle memory and observation in drawing confidently from imagination.

When we draw from imagination without reference, it's important to plan and visualize our subject. In this lesson, Peter Han gives us a demo showing us how to use our hands to map out where elements will go on the page, considering placement and scale. He starts with simple shapes and landmarks, building the structure, then layering details. He explains how muscle memory and observation helps him draw confidently across different subjects and how knowing how long a drawing takes allows him to manage his time.
I did this art digitally. I drew a lot of perspective arts in the past. When I have problems with perspective, I may be able to solve em as i go through the course!
