This is not a tutorial but shows the basic steps for drawing a plane in vector. The method I use is to make a simple 3D wireframe to start with so as I can work out the composition and angle of the main subject. Usually takes about 3-4 hours to make a crude 3D wireframe. Step 1. is to find a reasonable 3 view of your subject. Step 2. shows the finished crude 3D wireframe and 3. is the vector line drawing. This plane is a Russian Tupolev and has a very long wing span , which is why I cropped it. It's kind of like vector by numbers.

After importing the JPEG of the 3D wireframe into your software add as many reference photos of your subject to use for details. I keep everything on separate layers. Now you can colour block the colours and start to draw in the panel lines and other details and texturing to start to round out the flat image.

Thanks, cybrnetico. I've used Xara for a few years now. A great little program.
