How to Draw a Pilot

Step 1: The head

Near the top of your paper, draw an egg for the head. Leave room below for the body.

Step 2: The face

On the head, draw 2 small oval eyes with black dots. Add a tiny U nose and a smile.

Step 3: Peaked cap

On the head, draw a wide flat cap with a band and a curved visor. Add wings on the front.

Tip Draw a small circle in the middle, then a wing each side with 2 round feathers along the bottom.

Step 4: Neck, jacket, tie

Draw 2 neck lines. From them, draw round shoulders. Draw the jacket from armpit round to armpit. Add a tie.

Tip Leave a gap under each shoulder for a sleeve.

Step 5: Long sleeves

From each shoulder and armpit, draw a sleeve down to the wrist, bending softly at the elbow. Add a cuff.

Tip Leave the top of each sleeve open, so it grows right out of the shoulder.

Step 6: Mitten hands

At the bottom of each sleeve, draw a round mitten with a little thumb pointing in.

Step 7: Buttons and badge

Draw 2 buttons on each side of the middle. On the chest, add small wings with a circle between them.

Step 8: Trousers

Start on the hem, just in from the left corner. Draw 2 trouser legs, stopping just in from the right.

Step 9: Shoes and ground

Under each leg, draw a rounded shoe with the toe pointing out. Draw a long ground line under the shoes.

Step 10: Peach skin, pink cheeks

Colour the face, neck and hands peach, with pink cheeks. Leave the eyes and the shirt white.

Step 11: Yellow wings and buttons

Colour both pairs of wings, their circles and the 4 buttons yellow.

Step 12: Navy uniform

Colour the cap top, jacket, sleeves and trousers navy. Go around the yellow, the white shirt and the tie.

Step 13: Black visor, tie, shoes

Colour the visor, tie and shoes black. Go over your lines and your pilot is done!
