Frank A. A. Wootton offers good advice for artists wanting to try their hand at aircraft. Drawing planes (this book was published during World War II, so illustrations are from that period) is covered along with composition, light and shading, and action sequences. This is a great little book that novice artists will find a very useful resource.
Targeted at young aspiring artists seeking to develop their technical skills and build a repertoire of subjects, particularly those relating to aircraft. Acclaimed author Lee J. Ames shows readers how to draw a range of aircraft with a comprehensive, step-by-step approach. His distinctive drawing method has proven to be successful for children and adults alike over the past 30 years, and has shown artists of the beginner to advanced level, how to draw everything from animals to airplanes. The reissued Draw 50 series puts a fresh spin on an old favorite.
