Step 1: Draw a long, flat box form for the body of the plane. Add a long football shape for the cockpit.

Step 2: Sketch the window of the cockpit. Draw two large wedges and two small wedges for the wings and tail.

Step 3: Draw a long rectangle on each side of the plane's body. The rectangles should stretch the entire length of the body. Add two fat bullet shapes at the back to make the engines. Sketch two curved lines for detail. Draw two tall tail fins at the back of the plane. Outline the fins to create depth.

Step 4: Draw two long half-circles on each side of the jet body. Add an air intake on both sides of the cockpit, just under the body. Sketch narrow rectangles on the wings and a curved shape under the cockpit.

Step 5: Draw detail lines on the wings, body, engines, and cockpit. Add some small hatches on the cockpit and on the body near the wing.

Step 6: Use a felt-tip pen to trace the lines you want to keep. Erase any extra pencil lines.Up, up, and away! Now that you've tried to draw all of our planes you'll be filling the wild blue yonder with your own works of art.
