Collection of Cartoon Car Coloring Pages
Coloring tips for cartoon cars
As mentioned at the beginning of this cartoon car coloring collection, we usually show how to draw realistic cars and also publish collections of naturalistic and authentic vehicles with all their details.
In this collection, however, everything is intentionally simplified and done in a very cartoonish and basic style without unnecessary details or small elements.
Coloring these printables is also best done in a similar cartoon style.
But what does that mean?
In animation and cartoons, a very simplified approach is often used both in drawing and coloring, without additional shadows, highlights, and so on, so try to use a minimal amount of tonal variation, and even better, use a flat coloring scheme.
That means each part of the car should have a single tone evenly filling the entire element.
For example, when coloring a cartoon sports car, you can use a flat red color for all body elements, dark gray for the wheels, light gray for the rims, and light blue or very light gray for the windows – this will make your cartoon car coloring look more cartoonish.
If you add a lot of midtones, shadows, highlights, and other small details, this will make your drawing more realistic, which will contrast slightly with the simplified style in which the car was drawn.
But again, experimentation is always welcome, and such contrasts between drawing style and coloring method can create interesting effects.
Customization ideas for cartoon car coloring sheets
In all of our coloring pages, we also often talk about ways to customize the final printable, and usually we mention many small details that can be added to the illustration created by our artists.
However, here, since the drawings are very simple and basic, the details should also be added in a basic format.
For example, you can draw a minimalist background, such as outlining only the shapes of skyscrapers or mountains behind the car.
Inside the car, you can also add minimalist elements, such as the outlines of seats and the steering wheel, and you can indicate the driver and passengers in a very simple way.
Don’t forget about cartoon effects you can add to your illustrations to make them even more cartoon-like and interesting.
For example, using light blue or gray, you can mark motion lines behind the car or add other cartoon-style effects.
