Step by Step Airplane Drawing Instructions

Step 1

The first step might be the hardest one. Draw the body of the plane, a carrot like shape with an open end on one side.

Step 2

Next comes the vertical fin.

Step 3

Draw two horizontal fins and fill in the space between the vertical fin and horizontal fin (if there is any).

Step 4

Wings are next!

Step 5

Draw an engine under one of the wings.

Step 6

Now complete the body. Also add the details in the engine.

Step 7

Our plane is getting its shape. Draw the front windows and details in the front.

Step 8

Add details inside the front window and also draw passenger windows on the body of the plane.

Step 9

You can add even more details to make your plane look even cooler (or skip this part).

Step 10

Congratulations. You have learned how to draw an airplane. The only thing that’s left is to color in your wonderful creation.
