Rocket marker 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 form, overlap and selective shading in black and gray marker.

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

   Use selective interior marks and local shadow groups to explain the overlaps. Keep the lighter planes open rather than shading every surface.

A small thing to tryAlign the porthole with the cylindrical body surface.
