Step 4: From the horizontal line lying upwards, make a sloping line with a hook-like thing for the tail fin.

Step 5: Complete the tail fin with an ‘L’ shaped line facing right.

Step 6: Below the tail fin, construct a square shape with edges rounded for the rear section.

Step 7: Complete the lower body line with a long ‘L’ shaped line to the right.

Step 8: Underneath the bottom body line, draw a long curving line for the first wing.

Step 9: Add a flat hook-like pattern above the top edge of the shuttle.

Step 10: Finish the top design with an angled line and a curve. Draw a slant line to complete the second wing at the back.

Step 11: Add a little curve to the front of the nose.

Step 12: Add a larger back curve, then include a short horizontal line between the first and second curves.

Step 13: Draw four little squares on the top of the head for the cockpit windows.

Step 14: Draw a long straight line on the shuttle’s body.

Step 15: Draw 2 curved lines across the top to divide the body into pieces.

Step 16: Draw a curving line inside the rear wing again.

Step 17: Add a vertical border inside the back wing and the upper fin.

Step 18: Add a small rectangular door just behind the head. Don’t forget to add detail for the door.
