Time Needed: 45 minutes

1. Draw the Spinner

   

   First, outline a small triangular spinner at the front of the Spitfire plane where the propeller will be attached.

2. Add the Propeller

   

   Next, draw three propeller blades evenly spaced and attached to the spinner.

3. Outline the Fuselage

   

   Form the fuselage of the Spitfire plane, making sure it slightly tapers at the tail for an aerodynamic shape.

4. Add the Canopy

   

   Form an oval outline of the canopy on top of the fuselage. Then, erase any overlapping lines.

5. Attach the Wings

   

   Draw a pair of wings extending from both sides of the fuselage.

6. Draw the Tail Fin

   

   At the rear of the fuselage, add a short, upward-pointing tail fin.

7. Add the Aircraft Markings

   

   Now, draw stripes and ring-shaped markings on the wings. Also, add a ring-shaped outline on the fuselage.

8. Attach the Horizontal Stabilizers

   

   Attach short, curved horizontal stabilizers on both sides of the tail fin.

9. Color the Spitfire Plane Drawing

   

   First, color the canopy light blue and the aircraft’s nose black. Use light gray for the stripes and propeller blades. Next, color the roundels red and blue. Lastly, use darker shades of gray to the rest of the Spitfire plane’s body, wings, and fins.
