Yet again, I have taken upon the challenge to draw a ballpoint and highlighter car drawing. This time, the car of choice is a Chevrolet Chevelle.

Let's draw a Chevrolet Chevelle

Until now, I've drawn one Italian car and one Japanese car. I don't want to stick to a single genre of cars, so I figured that this time, I should choose an American car. I went with the 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle. I'm not sure why I went with this exact model, except for the fact that I like it slightly more than the 1969 and the 1971 model. I like the 1966 and 1967 models as well, but they feature more straight lines, making it more difficult to make excessively large rear wheels look natural.

On all of my previous drawing posts, I have written that I started with a blank page, but it's pretty obvious, so I think I will leave it out this time, even though I kind of already wrote it.

I sketched the main features of the car without making any major mistakes.

I'm always hesitant about how to draw the wheel centers. In the real world, the number of spokes on a car wheel is usually a multiplum of five or seven, but it's so much easier to draw wheels where the number of spokes are a power of two. Then it's much more likely that I get the angles between each spoke right. That's why I decided to go with an 8-spoke design for the wheels on this car.

The windows and the interior are often challenging as well, but in this case I think it turned out pretty well.

After some coloring and slight shading with the ballpoint pen, I could finally start applying some yellow highlighter color. I started by coloring the brake calipers, but in my humble opinion, the car looked so good at this stage that I was hesitant about continuing.

Well, as you can see, I did end up coloring the whole car, and I'm really happy about how it turned out.

To round things off, here is the finished drawing along with a Mazda 3 drawing I did in early 2016. If you like the drawing, or maybe even cars in general, make sure to leave an upvote or a comment, or maybe both. I wish you a happy weekend.
