Drawing of an Airplane: Step-by-step Guide for Beginners

 

Drawing of an Airplane

An airplane is a complex form of transport, which is quite difficult to draw correctly and realistically. Particularly interesting is how to display the clarity of the lines without resorting to a ruler. Only constant practice and hand training will help you with this. And we will tell you how to draw an airplane so that you can independently achieve a high level of skill in drawing aerial technology.

What difficulties can arise in the process of drawing an airplane?

An airplane is a complex technical device in which all parts are symmetrical and precise. In the process of drawing, you need to observe not only symmetry but also remember the rules of linear perspective if your plane is not just drawn straight. 

We remind you that linear perspective is a perspective in which objects move away from us decrease. A striking example of linear perspective is the iron tracks that go to the horizon. The closer they are to the horizon, the more they converge to each other.

 

How to draw a passenger plane?

Let's start our first exercise with a passenger plane. We use a hard, simple pencil, an eraser, and thick paper.

Stage 1

With the help of geometric shapes, we outline the complex shape of the plane.

 

Stage 2

After that, we draw auxiliary lines and on their base the windows and wings.

 

Stage 3

Erase construction lines and do hatching.

 

Stage 4

Remove all dark areas and refine the shape.

How to draw a military plane?

In this illustration, we will go from a simple shape and complicate it.

Stage 1

We outline the plane with a light press.

 

Stage 2

With the same conventional lines, we outline the wings and windows.

 

Stage 3

We soften the lines and shapes. The plane should be streamlined.

 

Stage 4

Erase unnecessary construction lines and draw details.

 Another example of a military aircraft with a simple shape, although it is an aircraft, has a rather elongated shape, similar to a rocket. 

Stage 1

The main shape is reminiscent of a zucchini.

 

Stage 2

Draw the wings and tail of the buildings.

 

Stage 3

This plane has sensitive parts so that it can draw triangles and rectangles of different shapes. In this case, you can show your imagination and make the plane interesting.

Any plane can be drawn using simple shapes. We offer several options.
