The urge to create something beautiful has been in us since the beginning of time, but one thing that sets us apart from the rest of the animal kingdom is our ability to draw. Drawing a rocketship has been a much sought-after pastime for centuries, and now you can easily draw a stunning rocketship from the comfort of home. Here’s how.
Materials
You’ll need a few materials to get started:
- Pencil and eraser
- Colored pencils, markers, or crayons
- Ruler
- Blank sheet of paper
Steps
Drawing a rocketship is easy to do and is sure to bring out your creative side. Follow these steps to get started:
- Start with the base of the rocket. Imagine that your paper is a window looking down, and the rocketship is in the middle. Draw two slightly curved lines coming out from the centre of the window to create the base of the rocket.
- Next, draw an angled line from the centre of the base to meet the two curved lines. This will create an outline for the rocket.
- Using the ruler and the angles as guides, draw lines around the outside of the outline for the rocket. This will create a shape for the rocket.
- Now, add in the features for the rocket. Draw four lines at the top of the rocket for the exhaust, and four at the bottom for the thrusters.
- To finish, erase the guidelines and add details, like windows and lights, to your rocketship. You can use the colored pencils or markers to bring the rocketship to life.
Considerations
Drawing a rocketship can be a fun and creative way to express yourself. Consider the following to get the most out of your design:
- Think of ways you can add personal touches – like a flag, teardrop window, or extra decor – to make it your own.
- If you’re not satisfied, try using a different material or drawing technique to create your design.
- Make sure to step back and look at your rocketship from different angles to double-check for any mistakes.
More Creative Ideas
Rocketships can be fun to draw and even more fun to customize. Here are a few more creative ideas to help you get started:
- Add a spaceship door that swings open to the side.
- Create a ‘gravity room’ inside by adding a curved wall in the center with windows all around.
- Draw a bridge on the side of the rocket to give it an air of grandeur.
- Make the rocket look like it’s breaking through a ‘space wall’. You can draw clouds and stars around it.
- Use a spray of bright stars and colourful nebulas to give your rocket a sense of motion.
Advanced Ideas
Ready to take your rocketship design to a whole new level? Here are some more advanced ideas to get you started:
- Create a multi-level rocket design with decks, interplanetary engines, and a launch pad.
- Draw a futuristic rocket with neon curves, cockpit-like windows, and other intergalactic features.
- Add missiles on each side for a truly impressive design.
- Draw a galaxy around your rocketship for a truly out-of-this-world effect.
- Design your rocket as a transport to a new world – include ingredients like lasers, teleportation energy beams, and particle acceleration.
Tracing Patterns
For a really complicated design, try tracing a pattern. This will help make your design unique as well as intricate. Here are some tips:
- Try tracing a circuit board for a modern, electronic look.
- Draw a honeycomb pattern around your rocketship for a geometric flair.
- Mix and match various patterns to create a truly one-of-a-kind design.
- Use symbols or symbols with words or phrases to convey how you feel about your rocketship.
- Choose a background colour that complements your design.
