How to Draw a Subaru Impreza WRX

In this tutorial you will learn how to draw a Subaru Impreza WRX, a car famous for its four-wheel drive, flat engine, and unmistakable sports pedigree.

This model has long been associated with rally racing and high-performance driving.

Over the years, the Impreza WRX has claimed victory in many races and competitions, cementing its place among the legends of motorsport.

In this lesson we want to pay tribute to that history and show you step by step how to draw this exciting sports car.

How to draw a Subaru Impreza WRX: step-by-step tutorial

Step 1 – Mark the basic WRX rally car shape

Subaru Impreza is quite a small but nimble car, and in the very first step, we will display it. Depict the body in the form of a loose skewer as in the picture below.

Step 2 – Sketch the slim glass line, wheels, and lights

In the second step, we usually add the most essential parts that are on all vehicles. Mark the window line, tires, and lights. All this should also be depicted with loose lines.

Step 3 – Sketch the Subaru Impreza WRX spoiler and door shapes

Door and wheel arches are also considered integral parts. Let’s mark them too with light lines. In the same third step, we depicture the rear-view mirrors and a spoiler.

Step 4 – Draw the Subaru signature hood and headlight

It’s time for details, and we traditionally start with the nose of the sports car. Circle the entire front including the bumper, lights, and the front arch.

Step 5 – Outline the WRX smooth roofline and windows

We turn to the cabin, but rather to the upper part. We need to circle this part of the body of the Subaru Impreza WRX.

Step 6 – Define the Subaru powerful rear details

A very prominent part of this car is the big and cool spoiler. Let’s circle the rear end including this spoiler, bumper and rear light.

Step 7 – Finalize the Subaru WRX doors and handles

The side of the Subaru is not very different from any other car of a similar class. In this seventh step, we will circle the doors and all the other details as in the picture below.

Step 8 – Draw the Subaru WRX rally complex wheels

Circle the tires and make them the most round. Show your imagination and draw some interesting and unusual design of rims.

Step 9 – Shade the body of your Subaru Impreza

Light and shade will make your Subaru Impreza WRX drawing more natural and voluminous. In addition to shadows, you can also paint this drawing to make the sports car even more real.

The team of DrawCarz.com loves sports cars, and especially if it is not an ordinary sports car. Here we showed how to draw a Subaru Impreza WRX – one of the most interesting Japanese sports cars.

The Subaru Impreza WRX has gone through several generations, each with design elements that make them different to draw.

The early 1990s versions are compact and simple, with less detailed external parts. When sketching these models, it’s important to keep the lines smooth, since they reflect the styling of that era.

By the 2000s, the Impreza WRX gained different features, such as round headlights in the “bug-eye” generation and later angular headlights in the “hawk-eye” version. Each of these requires slightly different treatment when drawing.

Modern WRX models show a much wider stance, strong character lines along the body, and a larger rear wing.

By comparing different versions in your drawings, you can practice adjusting proportions and details while keeping the overall WRX identity consistent.

By drawing different versions of this car, you will be able to learn to convey the era in which this car was created through design solutions typical of those years.
