Aeroplane Drawings from Photos
If you love aviation or simply admire the beauty of aircraft, a hand-drawn aeroplane pencil drawing is a wonderful way to capture it. Created by UK artist Angela Maher, each piece is drawn entirely by hand from your photograph, transforming your image into a detailed work of aviation art.
Angela’s drawings celebrate everything from the sleek lines of modern private planes to the elegance of vintage aircraft, and she’s equally happy to draw helicopters, gliders, or any other aircraft that holds special meaning for you.
Commission a Pencil Drawing of an Aeroplane
Each aeroplane drawing begins with your photo. Angela studies every detail, including the aircraft’s markings, reflections, and proportions, before carefully recreating it in graphite pencil.
Her work includes both historic aircraft, such as the de Havilland Mosquito, and modern light planes, like the Piper and Skyranger series. She also draws helicopters, jets, microlights, and airliners, creating any aircraft you’d love to see brought to life in pencil.
Every drawing is unique and aims to capture both technical accuracy and the spirit of flight.
Popular reasons to commission an aeroplane drawing include:
- A personalised gift for a pilot or aviation enthusiast
- A keepsake to remember a special flight
- A framed addition to your home or office
- A bespoke piece of aviation art for your collection
