If you do need to go somewhere, then a hot air balloon would not be a practical vehicle to fly. You can't actually fly a hot air balloon because the wind blows as fast as the balloon flies.

But if you just want to experience the feeling of flying, then a hot air balloon would be a very unique way to do so. Many people refer to flying in a hot air balloon as one of the most serene and enjoyable activities they have ever experienced.

Hot air ballooning is based on a very basic scientific principle: hot air rises above cold air. To keep the balloon rising, you need to keep heating the air.

When the air in a hot air balloon cools, the pilot can reheat the air by igniting a burner. Modern hot air balloons heat the air by burning propane.

For today's drawing tutorial, let's learn how to draw a very simple hot air balloon. Anyone can do it easily, as long as you are interested in it.
