How to Draw a Jet for Kids: Easy Step-by-Step
How to draw a jet in 8 easy steps
A sleek fighter jet with a pointed nose, swept-back wings, two tail fins and a bubble cockpit.
With only 8 steps, this is one of the quickest drawings on DrawAlong. It is a good first vehicle for kids aged about 4 to 8 and takes around 5 minutes.
Almost every line is straight, and the wings are just big triangles. Kids who say they can’t draw curves can still make a jet that looks fast.

How to draw a jet, step by step
1Draw the jet’s long body and pointed nose
Draw the long body first: a slim shape that ends in a sharp point on the right, with a bubble bump on top near the front for the cockpit.
2Draw the big swept-back wing
Draw the big wing: a long triangle sweeping back and down from the middle of the body.
3Draw the wing on the far side
Draw the far wing peeking out above the body. It is smaller because it is further away.
4Draw the left tail fin
Add the first tail fin, a tall slanted shape standing up at the back of the jet.
5Draw the right tail fin
Add the second tail fin just in front of it, the same slanted shape.
6Draw the little rear wing
Draw the little rear wing at the very back, a small flat shape pointing backward.
7Add the panels under the wing
Add a few straight lines under the big wing for the panels.
8Divide the cockpit window
Finish with one curved line through the cockpit bubble to split the window.
Time to color!
Try a silver or grey jet with blue wings and a golden cockpit, or go bold with red and white stripes like an air show plane. A blue sky and a few white clouds behind it make it look like it’s really flying.
In the live version, coloring is tap-to-fill: pick a color, tap a part, done.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the easiest way to draw a jet?
- Start with the long pointed body, then add triangle wings and tail fins. This jet uses only 8 steps and mostly straight lines, so it’s one of the easiest vehicles for kids to draw.
- How long does it take to draw a jet?
- About 5 minutes. It is short enough for younger kids who lose interest in longer drawings, and it is a nice warm-up before a harder vehicle like the fire truck or tractor.
- Why is one wing smaller than the other?
- The far wing is further away, so it looks smaller. Artists call this perspective, and it is what makes the jet look like it is flying past you and not lying flat on the page.
- Can I print this jet drawing?
- Yes. The free printable pack has a coloring sheet, a step-by-step drawing page and a tracing page.
- What colors should I use for a jet?
- Silver, grey and blue look realistic, while red, white and blue look like an air show. In the drawing tool, tap an area to fill it, then add your signature and save your picture.
