How to Draw a Gun Silencer

A silencer can be fitted on the barrel of a pistol, a rifle, and even a shotgun.

A gun silencer, or firearm sound suppressor, is a device that is attached to the barrel of a gun for the purpose of dampening the sound that a firearm makes when discharged. The gun silencer is generally a metal cylinder that is fitted onto the end of a gun, making the barrel of the gun appear longer. Indeed, a silencer is virtually an extension of the barrel. To draw a gun silencer, decide what type of gun you want to draw.

Instructions

1. Draw your gun. Depending on the gun you have drawn, you will want to draw the silencer to scale.

2. Research the silencer. A handgun silencer will be about the length of the gun's barrel, a rifle silencer will be roughly 1/6 the barrel size, and a shotgun silencer will be about the size and shape of an aluminum can.

3. Draw the silencer. You will draw it the same way you drew the gun barrel, but you will want to make it a tad wider in diameter. With your scale in mind, draw the shape of the silencer, rounding off the end. For a shotgun silencer, draw the shape of a soda can coming off the end of the double barrel, substantially wider than the barrel itself.
