How to draw aircraft like a pro

Plot

This lively and informative guide will help everyone from casual doodlers to artists with professional aspirations draw World War I biplanes, World War II fighters and bombers and modern jet aircraft. Aviation author Charlie Cooper has assembled the work and knowledge of numerous aviation artists in a series of step-by-step instructions and illustrations. After laying a foundation of basic drawing concepts like perspective, proportion, light sources, ellipses and axes, the book proceeds to specific techniques for accurately rendering propellers, movement, color, cockpits, pilots and cutaways. Depicted in both color and black-and-white, this illustrated instructional also features a brief history of airplane design.
