How to draw Airbus A320

Capturing a narrow-body airliner from a three-quarter perspective is the core skill practiced here, and this guide walks through the Airbus A320 step by step as part of the broader Jets and Planes collection on the site. Learning how to draw an Airbus A320 from this angle means working through foreshortening on the wings while keeping the fuselage proportions consistent.

What the 12 Steps Cover

The tutorial runs 12 steps and ends on clean line art with no color applied, so all the focus stays on structure and proportion. The three-quarter front view puts the aircraft in a flight attitude, which means the wings read at an angle rather than flat, and that asymmetry between the near and far wing is where most of the careful work happens. No background is included, so every step builds the aircraft itself.

Airbus A320 Visual Reference

• Narrow fuselage with pointed nose cone
• Two underwing turbofan engines visible
• Large swept wings with winglets at tips
• Vertical and horizontal tail stabilizers shown
• Row of small oval windows along fuselage

If you want to practice other aircraft shapes after this, the Boeing 747-8 is a good follow-up for a wider-body challenge, and the Sukhoi Su-35 offers a completely different silhouette with swept-back delta wings. The Hawker Siddeley Harrier is worth a look too if stubby military jets are your thing.

How the Step Colors Work

Each step image uses a simple three-color coding system to show progress clearly:

• Red Color: lines added in the current step.
• Black Color: lines completed earlier.
• Gray Color: base sketch for structure.

New tutorials go up on Facebook and Telegram as soon as they are live, a new YouTube video based on existing guides publishes every day, and Pinterest gets updated regularly too. For more aircraft sketching, the Russian Sukhoi Su-30 and the classic P-40 Flying Tiger are both solid next steps.
