Orbital satellite fine ink study

One compact orbital satellite in three-quarter view, central box body, two rectangular solar panels and a small dish antenna. Practice clear contours and a few local shadows in fine ink.

A way into the drawing

1. Establish the main shapes

   Construct the central box and two panel planes.

2. Connect the structure

   Join both panels with short arms and attach the dish.

3. Develop the drawing

   Refine the clear outer contour, add only the most useful interior details and place a few small local shadows. Leave most of the paper open.

A small thing to tryKeep the panels attached to opposite sides of the body.
