    My tips are:
    1.Make sure that when you do the triangle at the top of the rocket, you should use a ruler when doing it.

    2.When your doing the background think big not just space like the blue sky.

    . Numbers

    . A variety of sentence openers

    . Top Tips

    . Warnings

    . Checklist of items you need to use

    . And many more.

    Try to draw with end of the pencil or pen. That way you will get an edge to your drawing.

  10. Molly

    When drawing the rocket maybe you would like to draw it in pencil before drawing in white or anther light colour.

  11. Aruma

    You need to choose the colours you will use. Then draw your background and colour it in on a separate sheet from the rocket. After that draw, colour in, cut out your Rocket and glue it in.

  12. Joe

    *Don’t try to draw something specific in the background.
    *when drawing your rocket, try ad some shading.
