This might be a little harder for those with less drawing experience, but you can still pick it up with some practice.Īs you only have to draw one image, it's sometimes a lot quicker to draw like this. Sometimes you might want to draw multiple mini images of only the fuselage sides, or maybe the wings, simply to evolve your idea into a shape you like.Īnother great way to get your idea down on paper is to draw a simple minimalist 3D sketch of the entire airframe. Drawing these 2D views is a great way to get your idea on paper quickly. It's pretty easy to draw a few lines starting with the fuselage and then moving to the top view.

Sometimes you don't have to draw all three, a top and side view can suffice to get an idea down. As you're drawing in two dimensions, it's not that difficult to focus on one side at a time. Wingspan, length of fuselage and size of tail feathers can be shown in relation to each other. The three view is a type of technical drawing used to show each an object from each side.

Turns out, it's actually quite easy to do when it comes to airplanes. Along with making physical objects, though, I developed my draws skills through sketching whatever came into my head. Be it making box forts with my sister aged 5, building huge cardboard ocean liners aged 10 or getting into RC aged 15 - whatever it was, I loved putting it together. For as long as I can remember, I've loved creating things.
