Now, let's get the inspiration flowing!
Car Types
Let's first take a look at some of the different car types.
There are tons of types to choose from. In this section, I've highlighted a few that I really like: sports cars, supercars, hypercars, race cars, SUVs, muscle cars, and luxury cars.
Sports Car Drawing Ideas
We are starting off with sports cars.
Sports cars are one of my favorite categories to draw. I see these types of cars driving around more often than the more expensive supercars.
This makes it easier to get inspired by them and turn one you see into a drawing.
1. Audi RS5
I made this one as a commission for someone who had just bought their dream car: this exact Audi RS5.
This car has some of the most beautiful reflections. They make this drawing so much more interesting in my opinion.
2. BMW M4
I had saved this photo of a purple BMW M4 for years now. It was the previous generation.
A few months back I finally turned it into a drawing, but updated the M4 to the new model which I think looks really good.
The reflections in this drawing also make the car look really nice.
3. Ferrari Portofino
4. Porsche 911 Carrera
Porsches are my favorite sports cars and when I saw a 992 similar to this one driving on the highway I knew I needed to draw one. That idea turned into this drawing which I think turned out really well.
Supercar Drawing Ideas
Supercars are my favorite cars to draw. Their extreme styling, low profile, and bright colors make them excellent cars to draw.
5. Corvette C8
This was actually my first Corvette drawing. I made it just 2 weeks ago.
The straight line and sharp edges of the car make it really fun to draw and this bright orange suits it really well.
6. Ferrari 488 Pista
This Ferrari 488 Pista drawing was very much an experiment with reflections. I had just made another drawing with sort of similar reflections and I wanted to try them on this Viola Hongkong Pista too. To add the reflections I just used a white paint marker.
And I have to say, I'm a big fan of reflections like these.
7. Lamborghini Aventador SVJ
This drawing is based on a photo made by @tfjj on Instagram. It was such a beautiful photo of an SVJ in Viole SE30 that I needed to draw it.
This is still one of my favorite drawings to date. It has beautiful reflections and the color is stunning.
8. McLaren 600LT
9. Mercedes AMG GT Black Series
Hypercar Drawing Ideas
10. Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport
11. Ferrari LaFerrari
This LaFerrari drawing is one of my favorite recent drawings.
I wasn't really sure if I could pull off these cloud reflections, but when I started adding more and more of these details with a white pencil, it started to really come to life.
12. McLaren P1 HDK
13. Pagani Huayra BC
I love drawing less normal angles of a car like this one. You probably will never see a Pganai Huayra BC in this angle. This makes this drawing pretty special.
This is also one of the few drawings I made where I colored carbon fiber.
14. Porsche 918 Spyder
If I had to buy one hypercar, it would be a Porsche 918 Spyder in this exact color.
Out of the holy trinity, this is my favorite by far.
Race Car Drawing Ideas
Race cars are a fun category if you like to challenge yourself. They often have many sponsors all over them, making them tricky and time-consuming to draw. But if you do it right, they can look so good.
15. Lamborghini Huracan GT3 Evo
This was the first simplified realistic drawing I had made in a long time. And as I wanted to keep it simple, I didn't draw any of the sponsors.
But nonetheless, it's still a nice drawing.
16. McLaren Senna GTR
The Senna GTR is one of the most extreme race cars you can get.
I was always a fan of the P1 GTR, but this Senna GTR has really grown on me recently. I especially like the absurdly big wing it has.
Muscle Car Drawing Ideas
Even though I don't live in the US, I really like muscle cars. I don't know what it is, but I'd love to own one one day.
17. Dodge Challenger
This Dodge Challenger turned out amazing. The rusty and dirty beams in the background make this drawing so much more interesting and it was a fun drawing to make.
This drawing was also a commission I did.
18. Dodge Viper ACR
The Viper ACR has been one of my favorite muscle cars ever since I saw it in one of Salomondrin's videos.
You might have noticed, I have a thing for big wings.
19. Ford Mustang Shelby GT500
A while back, my Discover feed on Instagram consisted of only GT500s. These cars really started to grow on me and there were some amazing photos of them on IG.
This drawing is a drawing of Shmee's Mustang GT500 in the iconic lime green with black and red pin striping.

24. Lamborghini Urus

Luxury Car Drawing Ideas
26. Bentley Continental GT Mulliner
27. Rolls Royce Phantom
Action Shots & Perspective
Drawings of static cars are already pretty cool, but action shots make them so much more eye-catching.
By adding motion into your drawing it becomes a way more interesting to look at drawing.
Some examples of this are rolling shots, racing on a track, and burnouts.
Rolling Shot Car Drawing Ideas
Rolling shots a great for capturing the speed of a car. If you want to make it look fast, you just add a motion blur to the background and the car is suddenly going a million miles an hour.
28. Audi R8
This drawing of an Audi R8 is a great action shot. I really liked drawing it, although the background was a bit tricky.
29. Ferrari 488 Pista
I made this quick Ferrari 488 Pista sketch as a quick reference for a bigger drawing I was planning to make.
I wanted to convey the speed without drawing a background. To do this I made it look like the wheels are turning really fast by just not drawing the spokes and by adding a few blurry lines and white highlights.
30. McLaren Senna GTR
31. Nissan Sentra
This is one of my favorite commissioned drawings I've made. You can clearly see the blurry lines in the road and trees, making the drawing look more dynamic.
32. Porsche 911 Targa
This is again an unusual angle of a car. I really like this drawing. I even have it framed on my desk right now.
The Bright orangy red color and the blurry lines on the road and the bits of the bridge make this drawing absolutely beautiful.
Track Car Drawing Ideas
Drawings of cars on track always look so good in my opinion. I really should make more of those.
33. Porsche 911 GT3 RS on Track
This is the only car on track I've ever drawn where I also colored the track itself.
This was such a fun drawing to make, trying to add all the graffiti on the track and coloring these 2 other blurry cars in the background.
Car Burnouts Drawing Ideas
Burnouts always look good. Well, as long as you can see the car.
The clouds of burned rubber make the scene more mysterious and are a fun challenge to draw them right.
34. McLaren Senna Burnout
