In today’s instruction on how to draw a BMW car, we want to show you how to draw the most familiar car of this brand.

How to draw a BMW 5 series: step-by-step tutorial

Step 1 – Lightly sketch the car’s basic proportions

So, begin to draw a BMW from the simplest thing – depict the outlines of the car using very light lines. These lines should mark the dimensions and location of the car on a sheet of paper.

Step 2 – Draw the BMW 5 Series upper derails

Use smooth clean lines to correct the outlines of the main parts of the BMW car. Draw a long window frame on the upper part. Next, draw the visible part of the front and rear windows.

Step 3 – Detail the sedan’s front and rear shapes

Draw the front and rear bumpers. Unlike sports car bumpers, the BMW bumper looks more minimalistic. In the same stage, depict the headlight and rear lamp.

Step 4 – Draw the B-pillar and doors of the BMW

Use large semicircles to depict the wheel arches at the front and rear of your BMW. Draw the center pillar in the center of the window frame. In the same stage, draw the doors.

Step 5 – Mark the sedan’s front mirror and handles

Draw a rearview mirror in the front corner of the window frame. When depicting handles, keep in mind that the rear handle should be slightly higher than the front one.

Step 6 – Draw out the wheel and rims of the BMW

Erase all construction lines from your BMW drawing and depict the wheels. They should be as perfectly round as possible. Draw equally perfectly round rims inside the contours of the wheels.

Step 7 – Draw the 5 Series sun-like spokes

Draw circles in the center of the rims. Next, depict the spokes that diverge from the central part along the edges like the rays of the sun. The shape of the spokes as well as the distance between them must be exactly the same.

Step 8 – Add shadows, reflections, and mid-tones

Now add shadows. Start from the darkest areas, that is, the inner surfaces of the arches. Next, add shadows and mid-tones in the places shown by our artists. In the same stage, add glare to the glass surfaces.
