A drone printer configured to print an image on a destination surface includes a flying management module (FMM) and a printing system (PS). The FMM comprises a positioning system configured to detect position of the drone printer in 3-Dimensional (3D) space, and generate a rendering flight plan (RFP) in the 3D space, said RFP being representative of routing path that the drone printer is to follow during printing of the image on the destination surface; and a stabilizer system configured to stabilize the drone printer in the 3D space during any or a combination of flying, aerial manoeuvring, and homing. The PS can include at least one colorant tank; and at least one printing device configured to draw colorant from the at least one colorant tank, and apply the colorant on the destination surface so as to print the image along at least a part of the RFP.
