We are here with drawing hot-air balloon for children and beginners which are also the precursors of airplanes. These are also referred to as airships or dirigibles which are human beings’ first successful efforts in flight.
Do you want to draw a hot air balloon? Now, this involves following the provided step-by-step drawing tutorial which is extremely easy and simple. Besides this tutorial, you also require paper, pencil, eraser, and some glittery bright colors. There is no need for any other special equipment, always try to draw freehand instead of using compass or scale.
Thus. let’s start the drawing with this tutorial and depict our manned vehicle in simple manner.
How to draw a Hot-air balloon
Step 1: Hot air balloon is quite large in size so mark the height and width of the balloon. Draw a circle with a long line going from the center.
Step 2: Draw a small line on the long line and draw a diagonal line from it joining towards the outer wall of the circle.
Step 3: Draw one more horizontal line and a small rectangle as a hook and another cube connected to it for the basket.
Step 4: Draw flatten oval within the circle covering the width of the circle, draw another 2 ovals at the lower end.
Step 5: Draw longitudinal lines running towards the upper part from the lower end.
Step 6: Shape the upper part with small curved lines. Attach the basket with the 4 strings with the hoop.
Step 7: Curve the top of the oval into small arcs, curve the bottom as well with ovals and the basket.
Step 8: Darken the outlines and the lines of the drawing. Add little shades and the clouds in the sky.
Step 9: Erase all the guidelines and the bottom of the ovals and contour the drawing.
Step by step hot-air balloon:
Hot air balloon operation is very interesting. It is inflated with hot air, helium, or hydrogen, gases lighter than air, they give a lift to the balloon. When it was found wool or light material is burned below the ballon and its heat gases impose pressure in upward direction to assist rising balloon. But nowadays special type of burners are used.
As the technology advances the use of this balloon decreases but in early days they also find application in scientific experiments. Also useful in research on earths upper atmosphere. Weather balloon carry various instruments which can sense temperature, pressure, wind speed, and other parameters. They are also man made.
How to draw a hot-air balloon for kids:
Step 1: Draw a small oval, and begin drawing a curved line in the upward direction from both ends and make a big oval at the top or bulb shape. Ten more draw a curved line in the lower region.
Step 2: Draw 4 lines from the oval emerging for the rope and connect them with the small flat line.
Step 3: Draw 2 curved lines connected with the rectangles. Draw clouds around the balloon with the number of curved lines randomly.
Step 4: Draw lots of long curved lines crossing them with 2 horizontal curved lines such that stripes of the balloon shape. You can decor it with the other pattern too, only by drawing horizontal or vertical lines.
Step 5: Color your drawing with bright pop-up colors.
