How to Draw
A Cartoon Rocket
This simple drawing lesson will show you how to draw a cartoon rocket! Since the beginning of time, man has always been fascinated by the moon. The first sci-fi movies were depicting man travelling to the moon using simple rockets.
Of course, we now know that it takes more than just a rocket to travel to the moon... and come back! Still, let's try to draw one of these amusing objects right now!
Step 1
To create the body of your rocket, sketch a long and thin oval shape. Try to find the perfect balance between a large rocket (which should not be effective enough to work) and one that is too thin (after all, we are not drawing a missile!).
Step 2
To illustrate the fins of the rocket, draw a square at an angle close to 45 degrees. Then, add a triangle below this shape like shown above. For the fin located in the middle of the rocket since it's visible only from the side, a rectangle will do for now.
Step 3
Work on the outline of each fins to make them smooth and curved. For the middle fin, just make the top larger than the bottom.
Step 4
Add a window near the middle of the rocket. Don't forget to sketch a frame around your window!
Step 5
To make our rocket a little more colorful, draw two lines to separate the middle of the rocket from the top and the bottom.
Step 6
Add some colors to give life to your object!
Step 7
Finally, add some shadows to add more realism and depth to your illustration! And there you go! A nice and simple rocket drawing! It might not be the latest model in the great world of technology, but it's still a very efficient one! Have fun!
