How to Draw a Rocket for Kids
- Draw the body of the rocket.
The body of a space rocket has a complex shape, pointed at the top. In the drawing process, follow the examples in the instructions.
- Detail the nose cone.
To do this, draw a line at the top of the rocket to form a triangle.
- Add the porthole line.
Draw a circle under the nose cone.
- Detail the porthole.
Inside the resulting circle, add another, smaller one to draw the porthole window.
- Add fins.
These are the so-called “wings” of the rocket, which allow it to maintain direction. Draw them following the example from the sample.
- Divide the exhaust nozzle.
Add a line at the bottom of the body to indicate the beginning of the rocket nozzle.
- Add exhaust flame.
Here you can give free rein to imagination and draw a trail of fire of any shape.
- Color your drawing.
The main body can be painted blue, the trail of fire—yellow or orange. Paint all other elements red.
