How to draw a car
A little car from the side. Vroom, seven steps. Get a pencil and paper, and tap Next for each line.
Step 1 of 7. Draw the car's body, with two bumps cut out for wheels.
All 7 steps
Here is every step at once. The blue lines are the new ones; the dark lines are already on your paper. Draw lightly at first, so you can rub out a line you don’t like.
1. Draw the car's body, with two bumps cut out for wheels.
2. Draw two wheels inside the bumps.
3. Put a small circle in the middle of each wheel.
4. Draw two windows at the top.
5. Add a line for the door and a handle.
6. Draw a light at the front and the back.
7. Draw the road, and puffs of smoke behind.
A tip for drawing a car
Draw the bumps for the wheels first, as part of the car, and the wheels inside them afterwards: then the wheels never cross the car's lines. The front window slopes down toward the front of the car, which makes it look like it is moving.
Change it up
Once your car is down, make it yours:
- Add racing stripes and a number.
- Draw a driver in the window.
- Turn it into a police car or a taxi.

How it was made: Peabody drew this car in code, line by line, from its own shapes; it is not traced from anyone’s lesson or picture, and it is nobody’s character. Checked 6 November 2026.
