It's difficult to decide what kind of plane to draw because there are so many types but I'll start off with this shape. So, I'll draw this basic shape. How is this going to work? So, just start with these kinds of shapes.

Planes can be very much a point, bit of wobbly line, doesn't matter. I don't know what this is here, but whatever it is, it's there. Don't forget, of course, that this is going into perspective.

So it narrows up, smaller shapes. Draw the tail like this. It's small in perspective.

Too much detail here. Do some shading here. So again, I think certainly with something like this, don't go into detail, just get the illusion of speed.

And that's how to draw a plane. .
