Step 1: Draw the Balloon Shape
Start by drawing an oval shape, but leave a small gap at the bottom. This will be the main part of the balloon.

Step 2: Add Vertical Panels
Draw several curved lines from the top to the bottom edges of the balloon to create the panel effect. These lines give your balloon dimension!

Step 3: Draw the Basket
Underneath the balloon, add two short lines connecting down to a small rectangle. This is the basket where passengers ride!

Step 4: Time to Color!
Use your favorite art supplies to color in your hot air balloon. Try bright colors to make it pop!
