How to draw an ambulance car: step-by-step tutorial

Step 1 – Indicate the base geometry of the ambulance truck

First, depict the basic outline of the ambulance car using very light lines. At this stage, parts of the car are already clearly visible, that is, the cab and the rear cabin.

Step 2 – Sketch the cab entry and side window

Now draw the visible side part of the windshield. Next, carefully depict the cab door using a few straight lines. In the same stage, depict the cab door window.

Step 3 – Draw the ambulance truck’s arches and bumper

Use a couple of semicircles to depict the wheel arches. Next, depict the visible side part of the front bumper. Draw the headlight and the turn signal as a small rectangle above the bumper.

Step 4 – Draw the back doors of the ambulance car

Now, using straight lines, depict the doors on the side of the body. Recall that in order to check the proportionality of your ambulance drawing, you can look at it through a mirror.

Step 5 – Draw the beltline stripes and roof lights

Depict two horizontal lines that run through the entire body of the car. At the top, depict the side lights as small rectangles. On the upper front of the rear cab, depict the visible side part of the flashing lights.

Step 6 – Add the mirror and fuel hatch

Draw a large rearview mirror on the front door. Draw handles in the form of small rectangles on the side doors. In the same stage, depict the gas tank hatch and the step in the back.

Step 7- Indicate the tires and rims inside the arches

Get rid of all the construction lines of the sketch and depict the round wheels. In the same stage, depict the rims inside the wheels, which should have the same perfectly round shape as the wheels themselves.

Step 8 – Detail rim geometry with concentric details

Depict a circle in the center of each rim. Next, place eight smaller circles around the center circles of the rims. These circles must be the same size and spaced at the same distance from each other.

Step 9 – Correct the ambulance truck’s alignment issues

Now compare your ambulance car drawing with the one depicted by the artists of Drawcarz.com. Try to find all inaccuracies and mistakes and correct them. If you did not find any inaccuracies, then we can say that the instruction on how to draw an ambulance car is complete.
