How To Draw A Airbus

Download Article

Airplanes and aviation is a very interesting subject to learn. Airplanes are fun to watch, but sometimes, you just aren't near an airport to see them. Whether you're an aviation geek or an artist, planes can be fun to draw! If you're looking for tips or a detailed how-to guide, then this article is just for you! In this wikiHow, you'll learn how to draw several types of planes.

1

Draw an oval for the front part of the plane.
2

Draw a curve on the left part of the oval for the nose and a semi rectangle for the plane fuselage.
3

Draw a triangle for the back part then draw a trapezoid above it for the tail fin.
4

Draw a set of semi trapezoids for the wings and stabilizer.
5

Draw another small trapezoid for the winglets and small triangles for the funnel connector.
6

Draw a set of ovals for the funnels.
7

Based on the outline, draw the whole body of the plane.
8

Add details such as the windows, doors, wing details and funnel details.
9

Erase unnecessary lines!
10

Color your airplane!

1

Draw a long curved shape. Note that the left end looks more like a C.
2

Draw an inverted version of the first curve you have drawn on top to connect the ends of the curves to produce a rough outline of the airplane's body.
3

Sketch the airplane's wings on each side using a slanted rectangle.
4

Draw a quadrilateral shape on the rear part of the plane to serve as the horizontal and vertical stabilizer.
5

Erase unnecessary lines from the outline.
6

Draw curved lines beneath the wings for the engine.
7

Add details to the plane like windows and doors.
8

Color the drawing and add clouds or other planes for details.

1

Draw a slanted cylinder for the fuselage
2

Draw two an arc for the nose and a sharp curve for the back part of the plane.
3

Draw a trapezoid at the back part for the tail fin.
4

Draw another series of trapezoids for the wings and horizontal stabilizer.
5

Draw two cylinders attached to each wing for the funnels.
6

Based on the outline, Draw the whole body of the plane.
7

Add details such as the windows, doors, wing details and funnel details.
8

Erase the unnecessary outlines.
9

Color your airplane.

1

Draw a big X shape at the center of the paper. This will be the guide in drawing the plane. Press down lightly with your pencil so that it is easy to erase.
2

Using one of the slanted lines as guide, draw a rectangular shape on the lower left side. Add a triangular shape connected to the rectangle extending towards the right upper line. Remember to skip the pointed end of the triangle, instead, replace it with a small slanted line so that it appears to have four angles. This will serve as the body of the plane.
3

To make it appear three dimensional, reproduce the same shape on the bottom of the original one and connect it with vertical lines.
4

Draw the cockpit or flight deck of the airplane using quadrilaterals on top of the plane's body.
5

Draw extended rectangles on each side of the plane for the wings.
6

Add the horizontal and vertical stabilizers of the rear part of the plane.
7

Draw the landing gear using a circle and connect this to the plane using slanted lines.
8

Draw the propeller and spinner on the frontal part of the airplane.
9

Erase unnecessary lines and refine details of the drawing.
10

Add color to the drawing.

Question

How to draw a plane very well?

We are all at different levels of drawing. Be creative and do your best. You could do some research on a particular plane you wish to draw.
Question

How can I draw a plane taking off?

A plane taking off would be drawn at a slight angle, with the landing gear still visible. It would probably be best to also draw the runway for context.
Question

How do I draw a plane landing on an airport runway?

Draw a plane with its nose In the air and the wheels touching the runway, with a bit of skid smoke. Maybe add a control tower as well.
Question

How do I draw a rocket?

Draw a cylinder, then a cone on top, then fins on the side. Then add some detail!
Question

How do I draw an airport?

To draw a bird's eye view of an airport, first draw the terminal(s) using different rectangles. Then draw a control tower using an octagon and a square around it. Then draw lines for the runways and taxiways. Finally, rub out any guide lines with an eraser and add color to it. You can add even more details, such as shadows and depth.
Question

How do I draw a fighter jet?

Draw a plane. Sweep the wings back. Add rockets, machine guns, and a pilot.
Question

Why does the Biplane only have a single set of wings? This is a monoplane.

They need only one. They also have propellers.
Question

Can I pick a different color?

Elizabeth Bolster

Community Answer

Yes you can draw the plane in whatever color you would like to, as it is your drawing and you can customize it however you would like to.
Question

Why do people say to erase everything at the end, not when you finish drawing the shape(s)?

Because you can erase them at once instead of doing the shape, erase, then another shape, erase, etc. If you erase them at the end, you can draw the design much faster.
Question

How to draw a cargo plane?

Community Answer

Cargo planes are simple, with no windows except for the cockpit (where pilots are). If you want to show them un/loading cargo, many planes have either side doors or have doors at the nose.

About This Article

Article SummaryX

To draw a plane, start by drawing a horizontal upward curve that looks like a hook at one end. Then, draw a horizontal downward curve on top of it to close the shape and make the body of the plane. Next, sketch 2 slanted rectangles on either side of the body, which will be the wings. Add 3 quadrilateral shapes to the thin end of the plane for the stabilizers, and draw 2 curved lines under each wing to make the engines. Once you've done that, erase any unnecessary lines, sketch the windows and doors, and you're finished! If you want to learn how to draw a realistic looking plane, keep reading the article!
