Simple rules to draw a car sketch in top view

Hi friends,
today I'll try to explane very quickly how we can draw a car in tip-up perspective or top view perspective. This time we will try to make it in 2 steps. Step 1: as you ca see from my preliminary drawing I tried to sketch a basic shape in perspective (the car body) plus another one on top (the cockpit), I used as reference 1 point perspective vanishing point (indicated as 1 V.P.) the horizontal lines are going to infinite therefore they are parallel to each others (indicated with the laying down 8 symbol). The ellipses in this perspective are quite compressed and the minor axes are always going to the vanishing point ( indicated as 1 V.P. and look at arrowed lines). Before passing to step 2 lets not forget to draw our center section very important for judging proportions (indicated as center line), last thing is the shadow of this shape indicated on the ground.
Now my advice is to make several trials following these simple rules, before passing to Step 2 .

 

 Step 2 consists in modeling the geometrical shape we drew to obtain a car shape in top perspective. Following our center section and perspective lines we can draw sections to give a real car shape according to our taste, at the end we can add also reflextions lines on side body and glass areas and later we can apply with markers some shading.
