Drawing complex vehicles like airplanes gets a lot easier when you break them down into simple shapes. In this lesson, we look at how to sketch a plane using both one-point and two-point perspective. You will see how shifting your vanishing points changes the dynamic of the drawing and how to use basic boxes to keep your proportions accurate.

We also cover how to anchor your plane to the ground with cast shadows and how to apply perspective to surrounding elements like hangars and clouds. Remember that this is about studying the form in your sketchbook, so focus on understanding the structure rather than making a perfectly clean drawing.
