Hello my friends and welcome to another Tuesday of tutorial!
I am Leonardo Pereznieto and today we will draw a supersonic jet from the Top Gun movie,
and I want to thank Apealz, our sponsor.
To begin let's draw a box, a rectangle where the airplane is going to fit
and this helps a lot to keep the proportions right.
Then, let's sketch a slightly curving line, for the position of the wings
and the front of the plane.
the top is very rounded,
up here of course goes the glass part, the cockpit
and then down is the hull, the body.
The tails are very skinny from this angle
and then let's draw the wings
with the flaps down since it will be parked.
it will be on the carrier ship.
I want to note that I am mainly a pacifist and so until now I had avoided drawing any fighter planes
even though I have to say they are beautiful [laughter].
but Top Gun came out, if I remember correctly, in 1986 when I was a kid
and it, of course, rapidly became one of my all-time favorite movies!
On this side let's draw the pilot,
who is facing the plane.
And I think it is great that after all this time, the original actors Tom Cruise as Maverick and Val Kilmer as Ice,
came back for the sequel...
this is about 35 years later.
I'm erasing the lines that we don't need anymore,
to begin shading.
This jet is an F/A-18F Super Hornet,
which is even more agile than the already outrageous F-14
in the original movie,
so I look so much forward to the stunts,
also because I read that to make it more realistic, the actual actors were in the planes
unlike in the first one, where they were not.
I have been doing the light shading with a mechanical pencil and graphite leads,
now I switch to a carbon pencil for the real darks.
Because even if you push the graphite a lot, you never get a black, it produces grays.
And also if you push it too much, it becomes shiny,
while these carbon pencils
have the lead with a mixture of graphite and charcoal and they produce real blacks.
Good!

Very good!
¡excelente!
I think this drawing is coming along.
Now we switch lead in the mechanical pencil to a harder one,
to draw the lighter parts.
You can see how by mixing the different types of pencils, we can create a really nice contrast.
With these ultrasonic jets being able to produce a 7.5 G force,
which is 7.5 times the force of gravity and with their top speed at nearly 1200 miles an hour,
which is nearly 2,000 kilometers an hour, I'm sure they had a lot of fun filming this movie [laughter].
I mean some of the real pilots wear anti-G suits that push the blood out of their legs
and up their heads, so that they don't lose consciousness with the acceleration.
Alright!
If you made it all the way to this point, I would love to know it!
