Airplanes and aviation are fascinating topics to delve into. While observing airplanes in action is exhilarating, there are times when you may not be close to an airport to witness them. Whether you're an aviation enthusiast or an aspiring artist, drawing planes can offer a delightful experience! If you're seeking advice or a comprehensive tutorial, then this guide is perfect for you! In this Mytour, you'll discover various techniques for drawing different types of aircraft.
Steps to Follow
Boeing 747 700
Sketch an ellipse to outline the front section of the airplane.
Sketch a curved line on the left side of the oval for the aircraft's nose, and then draw a semi-rectangle to represent the fuselage.
Outline a triangle to depict the rear section of the plane, followed by drawing a trapezoid above it to represent the tail fin.
Draw a series of semi-trapezoids to illustrate the wings and stabilizer.
Sketch another small trapezoid for the winglets, and add small triangles to represent the connector for the funnels.
Draw a group of ovals to depict the funnels.
Sketch the entire body of the airplane based on the initial outline.
Enhance your drawing by adding details like windows, doors, wing features, and exhaust details.
Remove any unnecessary lines to refine the drawing.
Apply colors to your aircraft!
- If you're new to drawing, having a color wheel can be helpful.
- Understanding how to mix primary colors like red, blue, and yellow to create secondary colors is essential.
- For instance, you can create orange by blending red and yellow.
Cartoon Airplane
Sketch a long, curved shape, making the left end resemble a C.
Draw a mirrored version of the initial curve atop to link the ends, forming a basic outline of the aircraft's body.
Outline the wings of the airplane on both sides using slanted rectangles.
Create a quadrilateral shape at the back of the plane to act as both the horizontal and vertical stabilizers.
Remove any unnecessary lines from the outline.
Sketch curved lines below the wings to represent the engines.
Enhance the plane by adding features like windows and doors.
Color your drawing and include clouds or other aircraft for added detail.
Boeing 787 Dreamliner
Draw a tilted cylinder to outline the fuselage.
Sketch an arc for the nose and a sharp curve for the rear of the aircraft.
Outline a trapezoid at the rear for the tail fin.
Sketch another set of trapezoids for the wings and horizontal stabilizer.
Draw two cylinders connected to each wing for the exhausts.
Using the initial outline, complete the entire body of the airplane.
Add details like windows, doors, wing specifics, and exhaust details.
Remove any unnecessary outlines.
Apply colors to your aircraft.
Cessna 172
Sketch a large X shape in the middle of the paper. This will serve as a guideline for drawing the plane. Use light pressure with your pencil for easy erasing later.
Using one of the slanted lines as a guide, sketch a rectangular shape on the lower left side. Add a triangular shape connected to the rectangle, extending towards the upper right line. Remember to omit the pointed end of the triangle; instead, replace it with a small slanted line so it appears to have four angles. This will form the body of the plane.
To create a three-dimensional appearance, replicate the same shape at the bottom of the original one and connect them with vertical lines.
Construct the cockpit or flight deck of the airplane using quadrilaterals on top of the plane’s body.
Draw elongated rectangles on each side of the plane to represent the wings.
Add the horizontal and vertical stabilizers to the rear part of the plane.
Sketch the landing gear using a circle and connect it to the plane with slanted lines.
Illustrate the propeller and spinner at the front of the airplane.
Remove unnecessary lines and enhance the drawing's details.
Apply color to the drawing.
