From the Drawings Unit
This week I drew more spaceships, haha. Current obsession is drawing cutaways of the ships I've designed. These are all going into the book.
Someone asked me if I actually know the mechanics and engineering of what I’m drawing and the answer is yes…kinda.
I've looked at enough airplane cutaways to have a good idea of what things generally are. Here’s some things to remember when drawing a cutaway:
- Draw support structure first
- Add fuel source and powerplant - and avionics (these are all dependent on each other so connect them
- Squeeze in life support systems
- Fill in gaps with wires and tubes and other tech
If you like this kind of stuff you’ll love my new book: SPACESHIPS!
(I made a guide on how to manage your pledge and add an original art piece: LINK)
