In this section,
we'll show you how to draw the above biplane. Either draw it
freehand while looking at your computer monitor or print out this page
to get a closer look at each step.
Follow
the red lines in each illustration to learn exactly what to draw in
that step. The lines drawn in previous steps are shown in gray. Here,
we'll show you an illustration of each step and then give you a
description of how to draw it.
Step 1: Start drawing the
plane with a long oval for the main body. Put a short, rounded-off rectangle on
both sides of the body to create the lower wings. Add a longer, rounded-off
rectangle with a notch in the middle to form the top wings.
Step 2: Sketch three
rounded triangles for the tail. Draw a curved line near the tip of the plane to
form the nose. Sketch a doorknob shape at the plane's tip. Add a cone and two
long, thin ovals to form the propeller.
Step 3: Sketch a wedge
shape at the front and back of the plane to create the wheel supports. Draw
three wheels -- one small one under the tail and two larger ones under the
wings. Add rectangular support beams from the bottom wings to the top wings and
two from the body to the top wings.
Step 4: Sketch the lines
for the windshield at the indented part of the top wing. Just behind that, draw
two half-ovals to create the seat. Sketch an oval and some small circles to add
detail to the nose. Draw a star inside of a circle on the tip of the top wing.
Step 5: Draw wide stripes
on the upper wings and midway on the body.
Step 6: Add detail lines
on the front wheel, nose, wings, and tail.Step 7: Use a felt-tip pen
to trace the lines you want to keep. Erase the extra pencil lines.
