Sometimes aviation is loved by people who have nothing to do with either flights or ground handling of this wonderful equipment. This attachment arises in early adolescence or even in childhood. This is how a boy or girl sees the airliner standing on the runway, straining to wait for takeoff, and then the roar will intensify, the silver car will tremble slightly and start moving, at first not in a hurry, then faster and faster. And now she is in the air, rushing into the blue of the summer sky with her nose held high and hiding the chassis, which is no longer needed. And it’s even more interesting to be inside, of course, near the porthole, looking at the receding land, road strips, squares of fields and boxes of houses ...
And a hand will reach for a pencil. But how to draw a plane if you haven’t studied it anywhere? Nothing, for an inquiring mind, the lack of art education is not a hindrance. Any, even the most complex business consists of sequential operations, each of which is quite simple.
Here are some tips on how to draw a plane in stages. The first thing to do is to draw a line along which the overall silhouette of the fuselage and the tail will be built. For example, you can take the famous supersonic MiG-21 fighter, one of the most mass interceptors of Soviet production. It is recognizable: the steering wheel, the conical radome fairing and the delta wing do not allow its contours to be confused with any other winged car.
So, we have an axial line, it is best to draw it with a ruler. The next stage is the image of the bow. For those who do not know how to draw a plane, and is engaged in this business for the first time, it will be interesting to know that the silhouette of the fuselage is formed by smooth lines due to aerodynamic characteristics. This is the secret to the beauty of aviation technology.
The nose of the MiG-21 is an air intake, the oxygen necessary for the operation of the jet engine enters there, which ensures the combustion of kerosene in the turbine. A radar is mounted in the cone protruding from it, its purpose is to search for the enemy and orientation on the ground.
Closer to the tail, the fuselage narrows. To understand how to draw a plane correctly, you need to know that the jet stream coming out of the nozzle pushes it forward. By the way, it can also be depicted as several lines at the back, this will give the whole composition swiftness.
Especially should stay on the tail and keel, they are very beautiful at the MiG. Silhouettes of these structural elements can be seen in many photographs. Looking at them, it will become clear how to draw a plane similar to the real one.
Small details remain - an outboard fuel tank, a pressure sensor on the nose, a binding for the cab's glazing. Photo and video materials will also help here. The wings, when viewed from the side, are depicted by lines parallel to the axial.
How to draw a military aircraft and not arm it? It is simply not possible. On external pendants under the wing there are two air-to-air missiles, they are depicted simply: as two elongated rectangles with a pointed front and triangular wings.
That's ready MiG-21 - the guardian of the peaceful sky of our homeland. It remains to remember to draw on his tail a red star, the emblem of military aviation of the USSR and the Russian Federation.
