This document provides tips for sketching various modes of transportation. It notes that it is difficult to sketch vehicles while they are moving, so the best time is when they are parked or stationary, such as food trucks, vintage cars at events, ice cream vans, vehicles in museums or car parks, or vehicles stuck in traffic. The document encourages sketching everyday scenes of transportation to practice technique.

1. Sketching all kinds of transport…

2. It’s difficult to sketch anything when
it’s moving - so with cars, trains and
bikes, you have to wait until they are
standing still…

3. like the food trucks parked on the
Southbank in London…

6. vintage cars parked up at a special
event…

9. an ice cream van on a hot day…

11. exhibits at museums…

14. there’s always the mundane, like in the
car park…

18. or if the traffic is bad...

21. or before everyone gets going.
