How to Draw an Opel Astra OPC

Finished Opel Astra OPC drawing with detailed body, wheels, and grille

In this step-by-step tutorial, we will show you in detail how to draw an Opel Astra coupe and demonstrate how to create a sense of volume in your drawing.

The Opel Astra is a great subject for a car drawing because it is neither a sports car nor a truck, but an ordinary everyday vehicle. Learning to draw cars like this is always useful, both as a separate subject and as part of a background scene.

How to draw an Opel Astra OPC step by step

Step 1: Sketch the Opel’s body

Start by sketching the basic outline of the Opel Astra using long, smooth lines. Keep the shapes simple and avoid adding details at this stage. Pay attention to the proportions of the hood, roof, and rear section.

Step 2: Add the car’s main details

At the front of the Opel Astra, sketch the bumper, radiator grille, and headlights, which resemble those used when drawing a Subaru Impreza. Next, sketch fairly large wheels, a small spoiler, and a side mirror.

Step 3: Refine the Opel’s front grille

Now begin refining the front of the Opel Astra with darker, cleaner lines. Carefully draw the shape of the headlights, define the radiator grille, and place the Opel logo in the center. Erase any unnecessary construction lines as you work.

Step 4: Draw the bumper and hood

Continue detailing the front end by drawing the bumper beneath the grille. Add the lower air intake, the license plate, and the fog lights, then refine the outline of the hood with smooth, confident lines.

Step 5: Outline the upper details

Move to the upper half of the car and draw the windows, roofline, and windshield more clearly. Refine the side mirror and finish the small rear spoiler. At this stage, the upper silhouette of the Opel Astra should look complete.

Step 6: Add the car door details

Draw the side door and add the door handle. This example shows the three-door Opel Astra OPC, but you can easily adapt the drawing into a four-door version by changing the side panel layout. Use smooth lines for drawing the car body.

Step 7: Refine the wheels and arches

Carefully refine the wheel arches and draw the large tires with clean circular outlines. Add the visible thickness of the tires and make sure the wheels match in perspective. Erase any remaining rough sketch lines around the lower body.

Step 8: Finish the wheel rims

Finish the Opel Astra by drawing the wheel rims. These rims have a fairly complex design, but you can use a simpler design like the one used when drawing a Cadillac Escalade. Once the rims are complete, erase any remaining guidelines and make a final pass over the entire Opel Astra to trace the outlines.
