how to doodle a paper plane.

a paper plane is one triangle and one fold. it's also how every doodle in our app travels, so we've drawn a few.

A doodle of a paper plane thrown so hard it never came down, now circling the planet with one wide eye and an open 'whoa' mouth, in black pen.
the paper plane thrown into orbit. it draws itself here the way you'd draw it.

step by step

  1. Step 1: a long, flat triangle pointing up and to the right.

    one triangle. long and flat, pointing up and to the right. wobbly edges are fine: paper is never quite straight.

  2. Step 2: a fold line from the nose back along the top.

    the fold. one line from the nose back along the top. now it's folded paper, not a triangle.

  3. Step 3: three short speed lines behind it.

    speed. three short lines behind the tail.

  4. Step 4: a dot eye and a round open mouth, and the plane is done.

    a face. one dot and a round 'whoa'. done. it's going much further than you meant.

what makes it fly

one more plane to try

A doodle of a paper plane just arrived after the whole trip, beak wide open, tongue out, one heavy eyelid, sweat flying, in black pen.
the paper plane that made it, barely. same triangle, open mouth, a few drops of sweat. long trip.

draw one, then throw it

in wiggle together every doodle folds itself into a paper plane, and you throw it: to a moon you share with one friend, or into space, where a stranger catches it and colors it in.
