LESSON NOTES

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.

I am beginning to understand the connection between angles and the respective lines from the vanishing point. I don't know how aerodynamic the planes I drew would be. Thanks for the lessons. I will do the 3-point tomorrow.

Learning perspective or translating an understanding of the concepts to actual practice has been a challenge. I enrolled in this course because I have watched a number of your YouTube videos again and again, and I think if I can have a 'lightbulb moment' with 5-point, It will help me take my ink and watercolors (#richardelovich on Instagram) to the next level. I really like your use of 5-point and your sketchbook work. I come to this a little out of left field- and am hoping to do a graphic memoir of three decades as a practitioner of harm reduction approach to drug using. I have lived and worked in countries bordering Afghanistan, FSU countries, also including Ukraine, Russia, and Georgia. I was an organizer of needle exchange in NYC and San Juan, PR, blah blah- there's a wikipedia page that provides some thin background. Anyway, grateful to begin your course. Richard Elovich

Scuffed the close up plane, and I don't know if I did the centre point method correctly, but I'll definitely look into it more! I'm pretty stoked - I've been really intimidated with placing characters into scenes, but this has made me feel so much better!

This is my follow along study of the video. Yes, there are obvious mistakes, but this has been a learning curve indeed. I really like using the ball point pen as there is really no way to erase. Once it’s there, it’s there pretty much to stay. Notice the propeller on the foreground plane, the middle propeller is doubled for a correction attempt. Also, the wing on the foreground plane is out of whack. 😁🤷‍♂️ All said and done, I am really pleased with the way this has turned out. Critiques are welcome.

Hey Max! Thanks for submitting your drawing! I agree, working in ballpoint can be quite tricky for that reason; try doing some of these exercises in pencil as well, where you can erase and rehash stuff first. This might give you some confidence in making sure you're doing them correctly, which you'll be able to then translate to ballpoint. Wish you luck!
