Rocket fine ink study

One complete small rocket in three-quarter view, pointed nose, cylindrical body, one circular porthole and three fins accounted for by overlap, no flame. Practice clear contours and a few local shadows in fine ink.

A way into the drawing

1. Establish the main shapes

   Draw the long body axis and tapered nose.

2. Connect the structure

   Attach the visible fins and place the porthole on the body.

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 tryAlign the porthole with the cylindrical body surface.
