"How to draw a cartoon airplane. Very easy. First of all start with the body of the airplane. Now the body looks about like this. I'm leaving these spaces here. It's basically like an elongated oval, that curves up at the end where the tail is. I'm leaving these spaces for the wings, so lets put the wings in. That wing is kind of on a slant. And the next wing it starts where we can't see it. Its going to be on a slant back here. These are our two big wings, and these are our two little tail wings. Like that. And just put the cockpit little windows. And you can put the little engines if you like, can't really see them over here. But basically you have a little bit of exhaust. And there is our airplane, you can add some clouds. You can make them puffy all the way around. Or if you want to make them look kind of cool like, you can kind of fade the bottoms like that. And make some motion lines to show this plane is moving pretty fast. And there is our 747."
