How to draw a helicopter

A round bubble, a long thin tail, and one big rotor on top. Watch the video, follow along on paper, then bring your helicopter to life.

Draw it step by step

Six steps to a helicopter

New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.

1

Start with the cabin

Draw a big oval bubble, a bit wider than it is tall. This is where the pilot sits.

2

Add the long tail

Two lines out the back that get closer together, then a little fin sticking up at the end.

3

The big rotor

A short mast on top, then one long straight blade across it. Make the blade longer than the cabin.

4

Legs to land on

Two short legs down from the belly, then one long skid under them with a curl at the front.

5

A window and a door

One big curved window at the front, so the pilot can see. Then a door right behind it.

6

Finishing touches

A little spinning rotor on the tail and a light on the nose. Now this helicopter is yours.

Practice on paper

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

Finished drawing? In a Kubrio project, your kid turns this paper helicopter into a real animated film — with Kubrio's AI thinking partners at their side. The tilting rotor below is a wink; the real clips go much further.

Ingenious projects that inspire kids to make things — until they find the thing only they could make.
Ages 6–13.

The Animation Studio

Your kid draws a character on paper, tells the story, and watches it star in a real animated film.
