It’s coming to the end of the year and like everyone else, we are preparing for the Holidays! So we want to definitely end the year with a cool detailed BMW 3 series sketch in a top 3/4 view.
The video be broken down into 2 parts and had been recorded in real time so you can get a sense of the speed of execution. This part will focus on laying down the foundational lines for the more detailed sketch in Part 2.
Step 1:
Minor axis for the ellipses of the car
Step 2
Loosely establish the wheel base and profile of the vehicle
Step 3
Finish off with lightly adding the details for the components such as the headlamps, grill, windshield, and character line.
This will set you up for part 2.
Take Away:
STAY LOOSE! Don’t sketch heavy handed! Above all…HAVE FUN! 
We’ll see you back here in a few days before Christmas for the Part 2.
