How to draw an airplane
Sky-high Salutations, Doodle Devotees! Today we're taking off into the blue yonder to sketch a symbol of human innovation – the airplane!
Step 1
Add two circles and two lines to connect them, like a hotdog. This is the plane’s body.
Step 2
Add a couple of sticks poking out of the body for the start of its wings. Add a cone shape at the top for the plane’s nose and add some sunglasses because they’re cool.
Step 3
Add a curved line to the nose, a cool mouth, new lines to finish off the wing shapes, and some little pieces hanging off the wings. If you were wondering, those are called Flap Track Fairings.
Step 4
Add the engines to the front of things wings, some lines on the wings for painting, some windows along the cabin, and a glare on his cool sunglasses.
Step 5
Now color your airplane any way you like! Go for a nice silver-blue or really bend the rules and paint it neon pink.
Now that’s a plane that I’d definitely feel safe on!
Let's take flight with some amazing airplane facts.
Invention Icons: The Wright Brothers are credited with inventing and flying the first successful airplane in 1903. That's a lofty achievement!
Shapes and Sizes: Airplanes come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny one-seater propeller planes to the enormous double-decker Airbus A380.
Speedy Skies: The fastest airplane in the world is the NASA X-43, which can travel at a whopping Mach 9.6. That's almost 7,346 mph!
Sky High: Commercial airplanes typically fly at an altitude of about 35,000 feet. That's nearly 7 miles above the Earth's surface!
Travel Titans: More than 4 billion passengers are transported by airlines each year. Imagine how many doodled passengers your airplane could hold!
