How to Draw a Mercedes-Benz S Coupe

In this tutorial our team will show you how to draw a Mercedes-Benz S Coupe – the king of luxury coupes with elegant lines and sporty power.

The sporty image of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is manifested in its athletic “physique”.

Minus 2 doors, the dynamic shape of the windows, narrow headlights, understated ground clearance, clear lines of the body – this is the image of the Mercedes-Benz S Class Coupe.

And now, we will show you how to sketch your own luxury grand coupe on a paper in 8 simple steps.

How to draw a Mercedes-Benz S Coupe: step-by-step tutorial

Step 1 – Sketch the luxury coupe proportions

So, using rough and light lines, draw the contours of the S Coupe. Here we see a long and flat rectangle and a curved line, which later turns into a roof. At this stage it’s important to emphasize the elongated proportions of the body, since the S-Class Coupe is noticeably stretched in length. The contour should already convey the low stance of the car.

Step 2 – Sketch the car lights, wheels, and windows

Now we need to design the most basic details to the body of the S Coupe. Sketch the headlight, windows, mirrors, and wheels. As in the previous step, the very light lines are also used here. When outlining the headlight and windows, keep in mind that the headlights are narrow and elongated. The side windows form a continuous downward curve without frames. The mirrors should look aerodynamic, and the wheels need to appear large and powerful.

Step 3 – Draw the front of the Mercedes S Coupe in detail

Starting with the third step you need to be more attentive. Accurately trace the outlines of the headlight and the hood of the S Coupe. In the same step, we need to detail the bumper lines and air intake. Here it’s necessary to show the signature Mercedes style: the headlight with distinct LED lines and the massive front area. The hood line should remain smooth and stretched.

Step 4 – Refine the roofline and windows section

So, proceed to the roof of your Mercedes-Benz S Coupe. The roofline of this coupe is low and extended, flowing seamlessly toward the rear. It should be drawn with a continuous curve. Also, detail the windows and mirrors of your luxury coupe car. The side windows appear as one uninterrupted shape, without a pillar between the front and rear sections.

Step 5 – Draw out the Mercedes-Benz S Coupe trunk are in detail

Now, trace the roofline that smoothly moves into the shape of the back of your Mercedes. Carefully design the line of the trunk and rear light. The rear of the S-Class Coupe is long and smooth, with the roofline transitioning almost without a break into the trunk. The taillight is slim and stretched, wrapping around the sides. These should be shown with accurate curved lines. As these parts are drawn, delete unwanted lines.

Step 6 – Add the car door, handle, and decorative lines

Now carefully detail the lower edge of the S Coupe. Next, draw out the long door, handle, and decorative lines on the side of the body of this luxury coupe car. Pay attention to the long frameless door, which is one of the defining elements of a coupe. The decorative side creases should be subtle yet clear.

Step 7 – Draw the sporty wheels and rims of your S Coupe

Now draw out the tires and rims of the Mercedes-Benz S Coupe. You can make perfectly round tires with a compass, or try to make them manually. In the same seventh step, detail the rims. The wheels of the coupe are large with low-profile tires. The rims often feature multi-spoke designs that underline the premium look.

Step 8 – Add dimension using shadows and glare

Now it’s time for the shadows. Use simple hatching to add the shadows, as shown in the example. Do not forget about the glare on the windows and the body of your S Coupe. Shadows should be placed to convey the surfaces of the car. Reflections on the sides should look long and smooth, since this is how light behaves on the polished surface of a Mercedes-Benz.
