Draw an Easy Hot Air Balloon

Image
Learn how to draw an easy hot air balloon with this step by step tutorial. It shows students how to get those curved lines in the right places. Hot air balloon drawing projects show with just a few moves, how to make a flat circle take on the look of a round ball. The vertical lines that go from the top to the bottom do the trick, and when curved and spread out, make the flat circle SHAPE suddenly looks like it has FORM. Bright colors in those stripes will enhance the look even more. Anyone who has seen photos of hot air balloon festivals know that they are made with many, many different designs on them, so students should feel free to custom design their own. I just recommend that they start with the stripes shown here to first get their 3D look in place, and then take off from there. (Pun intended.)

Boats come in all different shapes and sizes, so when you learn how to draw a houseboat, you will see they are built more for hanging out. If speed boats and sleek and narrow, to move quickly through the water, then you can see that houseboats are in a different category.

How to Draw a Helicopter

Here’s an easy way to learn how to draw a helicopter. A step by step tutorial shows students where to start. If your students are learning about transportation, here are a few fun facts to know about helicopters. Helicopters are able to take off and landing vertically, hovering and flying in different directions. The lift and thrust of helicopters are provided by spinning rotors, usually with two or more blades. Helicopters typically have one main rotor and one smaller rotor in the tail which keeps the helicopter   from spinning around. This tutorial is designed to help students draw a helicopter that is a bit fancier than just an oval with a tail, but is not a complicated 3D shape either. The fuselage is made by stacking a few simple shapes together, which when complete, looks like a pretty detailed helicopter.
