Fokker Dr. 1 - Manfred Von Richthofen's plane


Instead of drawing a plane, I decided to try a 3D version on paper. I didn't use a template or anything. I picked up some pictures as reference and with paper, a glue bar and patience I built this. It's able to stand on it's own and can be folded to be in a pop-up card, which was my original intention.
I've always liked WWI planes... specially the Fokker Dr1 because of "Flying Corps Gold", a computer flight simulator I used to play when I was little.

Banshee - "Starcraft II"


I know this is more of a helicopter... plane-ish, aircraft machine, but I included it in the starships category because Starcraft doesn't always make it particularly easy to tell when you're in space and when on a place with atmosphere. I've always wanted to draw this, since I frist saw it. It looks amazing and it was a blast to draw it. This time my approach wasn't to make it neat, but the opposite. I went with dirty lines, played around with the pen as much as I could... and I love the end result, specially taking into account this drawing is based on a papercraft model someone posted on the internet and not a picture of the computer design.
I absolutely love this aircraft.

F-16


In the webside just said something about a nice poster. So I only know it's a F-16 because of the tail and engine configuration, plus the body gave me the idea that it was of the F series (It actually looks like I know what I'm talking about, right? Sometimes I even fool myself). Anyhow, I did this a couple of months ago, but waited a long time to scan it and put it here because I was lazy. It ain't my best plane drawing, but I'm ok with it since I did it in an afternoon in the middle of my finals.

Raptor F-22


A friend of mine who is going to be an aeronautical engineer asked me for this drawing. I had several troubles with the shadows because I took as model a picture of a real plane flying, and that made it pretty hard to do a black and white drawing with pen

Fujimi Mig-21


I know, I know, It's been quite a while since my last drawing of a plane, but I've been quite busy. The scanning quality isn't the best because I still need to figure out the scan in the "Computer Pool". This was the best I could achieve with my little knowledge of German and the basic features the scanner in that room has (don't ask why, but it keeps trying to scan a smaller size of the drawing and make it brighter, so I had to put contrast on the picture).
You may not notice, but this plane was done with a different style as the others. I didn't have the pen I normally use for the shadows, and I couldn't find a substitute for it. So I used a regular ball pen, but I had to get used to it, and, as you can see, the drawing has a different look with this Technic  I hope you like it any way. I made it for a friend who asked for it to decorate his room.

Heinkel He.219 A-2/R1

I'm aware three antennas in the front are missing, but I just didn't feel like drawing them. The wings look a little crooked, but I swear they looked like that in the book I drew it from.

McDonnell-Douglas F-15A Eagle

trying a different way to make the shadows. Using the pen as it was pencil. More little soft lines that actually real lines. Just passing by the sheet instead of painting on it.

Spad S.VII

I like World War I planes, they are so elegant. Though, my favourite is the Fokker Dr1 . It was the first model I made, I should draw it some day.

Grumman A-6A Intruder

As you can see this time I decided not go with the silhouette thing again. It made the drawing look a little childish I think.

Sukhoi Su-19

I liked this plane because it reminds me of a F-14. The whole cabinet design has nothing to do with that plane, but the wings configuration reminded me of it. I'm very fond of that plane because I did a model of it. I think I forgot to erase the pencil under the pen.

Vought F7U-3M Cutlass

Here I decided to mark with a bigger pen the silhouette of the plane. Just to make something a little different

Messerschmitt Bf.110 C-1

I even drew the drawing the original plane where the image comes from had because I thought it went so well with the whole design. You can see I was a little more confident with the shadows this time.

Northrop P-61B Black Widow

First plane I drew. Man, I was so scared to do the shadows with the pen
