How to Color Cars

Image
Coloring in cars is a lot of fun and it goes fast when you have an inspiration page of real photographs to see which colors to use and where to place shading and highlights. We have so many vehicle rubber stamps and these are just a few of them. Thanks for visiting us here to see how to color in each one, with added tips and tricks for creating shading and chrome bumpers. Cars, in real life, feature deep color areas and bright accent lines. I used Copic markers for these, but use your favorite brand. Having a white gel pen for the highlights is optional.
