Here is every step at once. The blue lines are the new ones; the dark lines are already on your paper. Draw lightly at first, so you can rub out a line you don’t like.

A tip for drawing an airplane
The body is one long shape, like a sausage, round at the nose and a little thinner at the tail. The wing comes from the middle and slopes back, not straight down. Windows are all the same size and the same distance apart: count them as you draw.
Change it up
Once your airplane is down, make it yours:
- Paint a stripe down the side.
- Draw a little propeller on the nose.
- Add a banner trailing behind it.

How it was made: Peabody drew this airplane in code, line by line, from its own shapes; it is not traced from anyone’s lesson or picture, and it is nobody’s character. Checked 6 November 2026.
