How to Draw A Helicopter Step by Step

Step by Step Guide

A helicopter may seem like a difficult drawing to work on, but if you follow the right steps, it is actually quite easy. I really liked drawing helicopters as a kid. Even today, I recall those steps and draw helicopters from time to time, mostly while making cards or cutouts. If you are not comfortable with drawing helicopters, maybe you could try drawing them in my way. I can guarantee you, you will feel much more comfortable following my approach.

To draw a helicopter, we start with the blades, then make our way down to the main body. Next, we work on the skids and windows, and finish the drawing with some final touches before coloring it.

Start with the top

Draw a mushroom like rotor for the blades.

Now the blades

Draw the two blades on the right.

The other blades

Next, draw the ones on the left.

Time for the main body

Add some details

Use a light pencil to draw a line running the entire length of the helicopter.

Add windows

Draw the windows of the helicopter.

Now the tail

Draw the tail on the tip of the helicopter end.

Landing skids

Final touches
