I have always admired the art of Phillip Castle an artist who was in my view a pioneer of the airbrush in the UK. You can, of course, use rulers and french curves to make a truly accurate airplane drawings but that isn't really my style. Now I pretty much have everything I need so I go onto make this simple drawing. I sketch very loose details on the wings and body of the plane. If you intend to go to air shows and want to practice quick sketching you won't have time for rulers.ĥ. You can use a ruler if you wish but for sketching it is best to practice shorthand. A faint line down the plane helps me to place the windows in a straight row. I sketch the windows of the cockpit and the windows down the side. I think the vertical one is called a vertical stabilizer.Ĥ. I sketch in the landing wheels and the tail fins. I draw the engine nacelle on both sides, again only the basics. I have also indicated on the right wing (left from our viewpoint) the stabilizer.ģ. Because of the angle one appears broader and shorter than the other. No need to be concerned about accuracy right now. I start with the main body of the airplane.

I can approach them by breaking the plane down into simple shapes before adding details.ġ. I am no expert on planes or aircraft drawings but I can look at them in the same way I would any drawing or sketching subject. This page will show you how to draw an airplane in only a few steps.

Learning how to draw an airplane and other types of aircraft drawings is something many children enjoy and even adults don't need to join an art institute to get started.

The airplane drawings on this page are simple and straightforward to draw.
