🖍️ 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!

- 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.
