The jet in the examples is drawn in iii/four view as its a squeamish angle for showing information technology's shape. Though fighter jets tin exist adequately complex and difficult to draw this particular tutorial is made specifically for beginners and is adequately easy.

Before you beingness delight notation that you will need to practice some erasing betwixt the different steps . To brand this easier offset the drawing in pencil and make light lines. You tin can darken them when finishing the line drawing.

Add the wings with the one in the forepart larger and the one in the back smaller. Ane reason for this is that at this angle role of the background fly volition exist hidden behind the plane making information technology appear shorter. The other is that due to perspective objects that are farther away will appear smaller.

When drawing the forepart wing add information technology overlapping the outline of the principal torso of the jet and erase the part that should exist covered past it afterwards.

When done with the wings you can too add a tiny hint of the exhaust at the dorsum of the main body. Show it with just a pocket-sized bump curve as in the case.

Once done you can go over your pencil lines (excluding the highlight outline) with a darker stroke or a black pen/marker.

To colour the fighter jet yous can apply paints, markers or colored pencils and go with the following colors:

  • Light grey for the principal body/wings
  • Blue for the canopy (go out the highlight white)

You can of course also change up the colors to something else. For example jets used in air shows tend to take brighter colors while military jets tend to be neutral colors like grey and light-green.

Conclusion

Fighter jets can have a lot of complex details making them fairly hard to draw. This tutorial simplifies the process by only taking the more than of import and characteristic features of one.
