Lesson 7: Applying Construction to Vehicles
Informal Demos
The demos here have been drawn in the course of a student's homework critique, but contain information that can be useful to all working through this material.
Airplane construction
Airplanes are definitely complex, similar in some ways to cars in that they focus on a series of curves running from front to back. Here's how I handle them.
Worth mentioning is how to figure out how far the wings should extend. Don't guess - instead, look at your reference image and try and find other features on the plane that align either horizontally or vertically with the wings.
How to Draw by Scott Robertson
When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
