How to Draw a Rocket: Step-by-Step for Kids

A rocket is a tall shape with a pointed tip, a round window, two fins and a blazing flame. Start tall and narrow and the rest falls into place.

What You'll Need

• Pencil (HB or 2B)
• Eraser
• White drawing paper
• Black marker for the outline
• Red, orange and yellow pencils
• Coloured pencils or crayons

Step-by-Step: Drawing a Rocket

Step 1: Draw the body

Draw a tall, narrow oval standing upright. This is the main body of the rocket.

Step 2: Add the nose cone

At the top, draw a pointed tip by curving two lines inward until they meet at a point.

Step 3: Draw a round window

About one third of the way down, draw a circle. Draw a smaller circle inside it to make the window frame.

Step 4: Add two fins

At the bottom left and right, draw a curved triangle that sweeps outward from the body, like the fins of a fish.

Step 5: Draw the engine

At the very bottom, draw a small trapezoid, wider at the bottom, for the engine nozzle.

Step 6: Add the flames

Below the nozzle, draw three teardrop shapes, one big in the middle and two smaller on the sides, with wavy edges.

Step 7: Add stripes and stars

Draw a band around the body just above the fins. Fill the sky around the rocket with a few small stars and a tiny planet.

Step 8: Outline and erase

Trace with a marker and erase the guide lines.

Colouring Your Rocket

Colour the nose cone and fins red and the body white or light grey, with a blue window. Use yellow inside the flames and orange on the outside edge. A dark blue or black sky makes the flames glow.

Tips for Drawing a Rocket

• Draw the window before the stripes, so the window stays the centre of attention.
• Make the flame wavy and uneven. A perfectly straight flame looks stiff.
