In this section,
we'll show you how to draw the above World War II plane. 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: Draw a long oval
for the body of the plane. Add an oval at the front to make the forward bubble
window. Sketch the two long wing shapes.
Step 2: Draw three rounded
triangles for the tail. Add a long wedge shape on top of the body for the
cockpit.
Step 3: Sketch two
cylinders on each wing to make the engines. Add a circle at the tip of each
cylinder. Draw a curved line near the front of each engine to add detail.
Step 4: Draw a cone in the
center of each engine, and add three long, thin ovals coming from each cone to
form the propellers. Add a slanted detail line to the tip of each propeller.
Step 5: Draw windows on
the cockpit. Sketch body details in front of the windows. Finish with a long
rectangle, circle, and star emblem on the far wing.
Step 6: Add rectangles to
the bottom two tail sections. Fill the rectangles in with lines. Draw a
rectangle with a corner missing on the top tail section, and add a smaller
rectangle inside it. Sketch line details on the wings, engines, and cockpit.
Finish with a couple rectangles for hatches on the body side and some details
on the front bubble window.
Step 7: Trace the pencil
lines you want to keep with a felt-tip pen. Erase any extra lines.
And your World War II plan is finished. You can add more
elements -- such as clouds -- to your drawings to make them more exciting.
Our next project is the kind of aircraft we're all most familiar with. On the next page, learn how to draw a passenger plane.
