How to Draw a Shape Rocket
Draw a shape rocket in 10 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: a tall rectangle.
Step 1: A tall rectangle
In the middle of your paper, draw a tall rectangle standing up for the body, 2 times taller than wide.
Tip This rocket is built from shapes: a rectangle, triangles and a circle!
Step 2: A triangle nose
On top of the rectangle, draw a triangle nose cone, corner to corner, with its point in the middle.
Step 3: Circle window and eyes
Near the top of the rectangle, draw a round window with 2 round eyes inside, black dots in each.
Step 4: A smile
Under the eyes draw a small U smile, starting under the left eye and stopping under the right eye.
Step 5: Fins and band
Draw a triangle fin at each bottom corner, starting partway up the side. Add a thin band between the fins.
Step 6: Launch pad
Under the rocket draw a flat launch pad, a bit wider than the body, on a long ground line.
Step 7: Sparkle stars
Draw 4 sparkle stars around the rocket, 2 on each side, not touching it.
Step 8: Grey pad, yellow stars
Colour the launch pad grey and the stars yellow.
Step 9: Blue fins, sky window
Colour the fins and the band blue, and the window sky blue, going around the face. Keep the eyes white.
Step 10: Red rocket
Colour the body and nose cone red, going around the window and band. Your shape rocket is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a shape rocket, drawn by you.
