Steps

Sniper

  1. Document yourself, search the net or in magazines, print some photos with guns so you have a good idea and have some reference points.
  2. Draw a ā€œVā€ upside down, these will be the bipod of the sniper rifle.
  3. Continue with a guideline, on top of the bipod(V) draw a horizontal slope line.

  8. Put some color and see how it looks.
