How to Draw a Cartoon Airplane

1. Begin the cartoon airplane outline by drawing a long curved line. This will become the bottom of the body or fuselage of the cartoon plane.

2. Draw another curved line, enclosing the irregular, elongated shape of the plane's fuselage.

3. Draw the wing of the plane, erasing as necessary. Use curved lines to enclose the rounded rectangle shape.

4. Draw the remaining wing of the opposite side of the plane. Again, use curved lines to enclose the rounded rectangle shape.

5. Next, draw the winglets on the tail of the plane. Use curved lines to enclose each rounded parallelogram shape. The winglet on top of the tail is called the rudder, and those on the sides are the vertical stabilizers.

6. Enclose a partial circle around the nose of the cartoon plane, then draw curved or "L" shaped lines along its body, wings, rudder, and stabilizers.

7. Draw the jet engines beneath the plane's wings. Draw a circle at the front of each engine, then use curved lines to enclose a partial cylinder shape around it. Draw a curved line beside each circle to indicate the flat front of the cylinder.

8. Draw the cockpit windows and the door, erasing as necessary. Use curved lines to sketch the rounded and curved rectangle shapes.

9. Draw the plane's windows. Enclose rounded squares above the line that crosses the fuselage. Can you picture yourself inside?
