Drawing wheels on vehicles is an excellent way to practice cylinders and reinforce what we've already learned.

Level 1

Draw a simple car, bus, RV, or truck focusing on the wheels.

• Add a spare tire on the front or back to practice cylinders in different orientations.
• Use photos for inspiration, not for direct copying.
• Draw your vehicle from a slightly different angle than your reference to practice perspective construction.
• Make vehicles toy-like, simplifying details and focusing on perspective.
• Start with the side view silhouette in 3-point perspective, then extrude it.
• Construct wheels by approximating square planes and drawing ellipses within. Give them thickness!
• Experiment with the same vehicle from multiple angles or different types of vehicles.

Level 2

Include at least one tank in your drawings to practice cylinders along all three axes.

• Tanks should primarily be constructed out of boxes and cylinders.
• Add simple details like headlights, a window, or more guns for enhancement.
• Use the X method to ensure consistent wheel sizes.

General Tips

• Keep lines light and clean in early stages to avoid messiness.
• Apply "X-ray vision goggles" to visualize and construct internal parts.
• Remember the techniques for constructing cylinders inside boxes.
• Review previous lessons if necessary to refresh on the concepts.
