How to Draw an Audi A7

In this drawing tutorial, our team will show you how to draw an Audi A7, one of the most beautiful fastback cars ever.

In our opinion, Audi A7 is one of the most beautiful cars of its kind. Flawless execution of the exterior and details will not leave indifferent even the most indifferent person.

Since the release of this four-door coupe, several generations have changed, but using this tutorial you will be able to draw any of them, since the differences are only in the details.

How to draw an Audi A7: step-by-step tutorial

Step 1 – Sketch the elongated sportback contour

In the first stage, using rough lines illustrate the body of your four-door sports coupe. As you can see, this is a fairly flat and long car. The Audi A7 has a long, sweeping profile with a coupe-like roofline despite being a four-door. When drawing the base shape, convey the elongated proportions and relatively low height.

Step 2 – Sketch the Audi A7 headlights, windows, and wheels

In this stage, add several details to your fastback, for example sketch the headlights, large circle wheels, and mirrors using simple rough lines. The headlights on the Audi A7 are narrow and sharply angled, consistent with Audi’s modern design language. The wheels should be drawn large, filling the wheel arches. The mirrors are slim and aerodynamic.

Step 3 – Refine the headlight, hood, and bumper

Now let’s detail the body of the four-door coupe. Sketch the details from left to right. Draw out the headlight of the Audi A7, its bumper, and hood lines. The hood should feature subtle creases that extend toward the windshield. Add the hood line and bottom details of the bumper.

Step 4 – Draw the flat Audi A7 roofline and detail the windows

Detail the flat roof and the windows. Mirrors are also should be drawn in this fourth step. The roofline is one of the most defining elements of the A7. It sweeps gently from the front to the rear in a continuous arc, creating the sportback silhouette. The windows are long and narrow, tapering toward the rear. Keeping these proportions accurate is very important to capturing the car’s coupe-like feel.

Step 5 – Detail the back of the sportback

A rather simple step of the instruction on how to sketch an Audi A7. Here we will only need to depicture the outlines of stylish taillights and rear bumper. Audi A7 taillights are slim and connected across the rear by a light strip. When sketching, show this horizontal emphasis clearly. The bumper should look sculpted but not overly complex, maintaining Audi’s clean design approach.

Step 6 – Draw the wide Audi A7 doors and handles

Let’s now get into the details on the body of our Audi A7. Add wide doors, handles, and horizontal lines on the body of the Audi. With the help of an eraser delete all auxiliary lines from the Audi. Since the A7 is a four-door coupe, the doors are long but remain elegant. Add subtle horizontal character lines running along the side — these define how light reflects on the surface. Make the handles understated, flush with the body, which is typical of Audi’s premium design choices.

Step 7 – Trace the wheel shapes and detail the rims

Now it’s time to tackle the tires and rims. To properly detail the rims, first mark the center section and then add the spokes running from the center outward. Keep the wheels large, as Audi uses larger wheels on the A7, giving the car a sporty look. The tires should have a low profile, giving the car a sporty and luxurious look.

Step 8 – Add shadows and reflections on your sportback

It remains to shade and darken some parts of the fastback with hatching. Shadows will make your Audi realistic and three-dimensional. First, add the darkest shadows under the arches and other areas as in our illustration. Then gradually add midtones and subtle highlights on the windows. Keep the reflections smooth and continuous.

Fastback drawing basics

The team of Draw Carz hopes this Audi A7 drawing tutorial was helpful for you.

If you carefully followed each step, you should now have a realistic sketch that conveys the unique proportions and design language of the Audi A7.

By the way, the article will be a very good tool if you are thinking to design an Audi S7 and Audi RS7 Sportback.

Both of these versions share the same body framework as the A7 but add sportier accents, more aggressive bumpers, and performance-oriented details.

By slightly modifying the lines and adjusting the proportions, you can adapt your A7 sketch into an S7 or RS7 design.

In addition, A7 is very similar to the Audi A5 Sportback, so using this drawing tutorial you can sketch this car too.

The main difference between the A5 and A7 lies in size and detailing, so if you reduce the length slightly and simplify the rear light arrangement, your drawing will already resemble the A5.
