The Stages Simply follow the lines drawn in orange on each stage using your 1 or 2 pencil The blue lines on each stage show what has already been drawn in the previous stages 1 2 3 In the final stage the drawing has been outlined in black and the simple shape and wire-frame lines erased The shapes are only there to help us build the picture We finish the picture by drawing over the parts we need to make it look like our subject with the black marker and then erasing all the simple shape lines Included here is a sketch of a sports car as it would be originally drawn by an artist These are how all the cars in this book were originally worked out and drawn The orange and blue stages you see above are just a simplified version of this process The drawing here has been made by many quick pencil strokes working over each other to make the line curve smoothly It does not matter how messy it is as long as the artist knows the general direction of the line to follow with the black marker at the end The pencil lines are erased and a clean outline is left Therefore do not be afraid to make a little mess with your 1 or 2 pencil as long as you do not press so hard that you cannot erase it afterwards 4 5 Grids made of squares are set behind each stage in this book Make sure to draw a grid lightly on your page so it does not press into the paper and show up after being erased Artist tips have also been added to show you some simple things that can make your drawing look great Have fun 3
