🖍️ Tools For Success

Paper (Our Free How To Draw Template PDF)
Pencil
Polymer Eraser
Outline Markers
Coloring Tools (I recommend Crayola’s 140 Piece Coloring Case)

🎨 Parents: The only tools you need to use these how-to-draw tutorials are: an eraser, a pencil, and a piece of paper. But – if you have them around – a sketching pencil makes for fainter and softer lines that help kids build fine motor accuracy. I also recommend going over the sketch pencil with a black outline marker when you’re done for a neater finish. Lastly, erase the pencil marks before adding color.

Step-by-Step: Draw an Airplane

Yes, there’s a lot of airplane types out there from cargo, seaplanes, helicopters, to other military-style planes. But by far the most recognizable airplane for most people is the long, narrow commercial planes we see flying, oh so often, in the sky.

Outline the airplane’s top cockpit by drawing a long horizontal line with a short curve on the left end;
Then draw a c-shaped airplane nose connected to the cockpit. Stretch the horizontal line under the nose to sketch the plane’s underside.
Draw a rectangular wing adjacent to the airplane’s body. The part of the wing that is closer to the body has a larger width than the farther part.
Then, complete the airplane’s body by drawing a horizontal line from the wing to the body’s end.
Repeat the step in doing the airplane’s wing to draw the tail at the end of the body, but draw a smaller one.
Then, add another wing beneath the airplane’s body and parallel to the other wing. The right-wing should appear shorter than the left-wing.
On top of the airplane’s body end, draw another rectangular tail. This is bigger than the first tail but smaller than the wings.
Lastly, draw the rectangular windshield in the flight deck and five small circular windows on the body. You can add more windows and even a center body door for accuracy if you would like.
Before we fly with our airplane, let’s color it with a light grey and bright red tail, but you can choose the color of your own!

Commonly, airplanes go with the official colors of their airline. Or sometimes they have a whole body decal to promote as ads. It’s 100% up to you!

We didn’t draw the engine propellers typically under airplane wings but if you want to be more accurate, feel free to add two cylindrical drums to the underside center of each wing!

The black box, sometimes referred to as the Flight Data Recorder, is painted bright orange so when a crash happens, it’s easier to recover in the debris.

Aircraft air is considerably drier than any on Earth you can encounter; that could be why airplane food tastes particularly bland.

To save passengers, an inventor engineered a plane with a detachable cabin…although modern research has shown it’s not as effective in rescues as one would believe.

There are 5,000 airplanes in the sky over the United States at any point in time, according to the FAA, and more than 8,000 flies around the globe.

The biggest airplane in the world weighs nearly 600 tons, empty! It’s called Antonov An-225 Mriya, a cargo ship.

Planes have wings shaped distinctly to help them combat the effects of gravity on the plane. This shape is called the airfoil (aerofoil) shape.
“Chicken gunning” is what airliner manufacturers do to test safety, this means they throw already dead chickens/bird props into the front of the plane to see impacts in the case in real life, a bird accidentally hits the plane it won’t impact the plane or endanger passengers.
Airplanes (like the Boeing) requires about 50,000 gallons of fuel to get a full tank.
