"Hello, my name is Jacklyn LaFlamme. I'm a professional artist, with JacklynLaFlamme.com. In this clip, I'm going to show you how to draw a Mercedes. You'll need a sketchbook. You'll need some black markers to draw with. So, when drawing a Mercedes we're going to start off with the tires, because those are the simplest shapes. We're just going to draw two circles. Then, we're going to draw a line connecting the two circles, and we'll draw one more line just here to show the line of the doors. And then, we'll just draw one more line up here for the hood of the car, and draw two lines coming down this way, and then we'll connect this to here and that will create the back of the car. And we'll do the same thing. You see, it's almost like a triangle. We're going to do one more line up here and you just box that in, and that simple, you can have the back windshield. And again, we'll do the same thing here; another simple shape here for the front windshield, and we'll divide the line here to get the windows. Then, we'll work on the front of the car here. We'll come here; almost do like an oval shape for the headlamp, and we can do two little shapes just like that, that simple, for the front fender, and we'll connect that there. And we'll come back here, and we just have to do one for the back fender. And we'll do a little square here for the taillight, and connect this line. Then, I'm going to draw a couple of lines coming down this way that will show the doors. And then, we'll just draw kind of like the little detail going across the car here, and a couple of little lines here for the front grill; two more little circles in each tire, and then, my favorite part is the little insignia star on the front of the Mercedes Benz. This has been Jacklyn LaFlamme. Thank you for watching."
