How to Draw a Space Shuttle Step by Step

Six small drawings show a space shuttle being built up one stage at a time, with the first step at the top left and the finished version at the bottom right. The first step is just a long rounded body shape. Next come the swept wing and the lower body line, then a tail fin, the cockpit window lines near the nose, and a rounded engine section at the back. The fifth step adds the cargo bay with its panel lines and jagged flames shooting out behind the engines. The last picture is the same shuttle in color, with tan and gray panels, a blue cockpit window, a pale blue cargo bay, and red and yellow flames. Print it for a drawing lesson and have kids follow along one step at a time, then color their own shuttle to match the example or pick new colors for the flames and wings.
