Here’s a tutorial for drawing a classic Imperial gas mask front view, inspired by those used by imperial forces during WWI and WWII. I went with a simple but symmetrical design, showing the mask straight-on so you can focus on balance and round shapes. This version keeps the filters and lenses clean and readable – no extra gear or straps to overcomplicate it.
Key Features of This Gas Mask Drawing
- Round dual eye lenses with inner valve shapes
- Large front-mounted filter with perforated vent design
- Thick, segmented hose connector at the base of the mask
- Simplified shape of the outer headgear shell, no strap details
- Overall symmetrical construction with matched sides
You could try drawing a modern gas mask next and here’s a different version of it if you’re interested.
