This project was inspired by a drawing I did as one of the illustrations I drew for a book. It was one thing to draw the picture but very different to go back and describe how I drew it. I tried to provide a lot of details about how to draw this picture. I used a marker to draw it but you can use these instructions in almost any medium.

YOU MAY PRINT THE ART PROJECT NOTES BELOW.

BEGINNING
First, draw a straight line across for the horizon, DO NOT DRAW IT HALFWAY DOWN- that is just too boring.

Draw lightly at first so you can erase later.

The hull or body of the ship is like a letter "U." Draw it over the line for the horizon so the horizon line goes through it, you can erase later.

The ship is coming toward you, so you see the point of the front. Draw it like a triangle with a point going up and a little to the side.

Draw a line in a curve for the very front of the ship. It is a little to one side but curves away to the other, this line helps give a feeling of the direction the ship is going.

The cabin is like a rectangle. Draw it lightly at first so you can erase the part that is not showing. The cabin is slightly at a side so draw a line to show the corner of the front and the side.

There is a mast that goes out from the front. Draw it as a straight line but it is a line that is a part of the top edge of the side of the ship.

SAILS
The big sails are on two masts, draw them lightly at first because the sail is in front of them and you will only see the tops, but draw them so you can get everything straight erase them later. There is a cross beam across the top so it all looks like a letter "t."

Before you do the beautiful shapes of the sails, use squares to get them where you want them to be. This drawing has two square sails, one in front of the other. Use squares to work out the design. The sail in the back is lower, so the bottom and side are all that shows.
There are two triangle sails on the very front.

The pendants on top of the mast are two lines shaped like a long skinny letter "Z," that connect at a point. The two lines are connected by a backward letter "C" where they touch the top of the mast.

SPLASH AND CLOUDS
Use circles to design how you want the splash at the front to look. Just work out your ideas then later make it look like a splash with shading and bubbles.

Use circles to design how you want the clouds to look. The far clouds over the horizon are smaller than the ones up top, (overhead).

Go over all the sails with lines that curve to show that the wind is pushing them out. Erase any part of the mast that is behind and unseen.

SHADING
The sun is behind, so the front of the ship is in shadow. Shade the front of the ship and the cabin. Use shading on the bottom of the splash and keep the top clean. Use little circles for bubbles if you like.. Do not shade all the sides leave the outside edges light for contrast.

Clean up the clouds and keep them simple, just use the best lines from the circles you drew before and erase the rest.

THE SEA
The sea is darker in the foreground, use long thick lines going back and forth to give it movement and darkness. The sea is lighter far away, use short thin lines with a lot of white areas between them to give the feeling of distance.

Oops! I forgot the seagulls, but you can take care of that!

PRINTABLE NOTES

Draw lightly at first so you can erase later.
The beauty of this project is the gracefully flowing lines so take your time with the lines.

BEGINNING
Use basic common shapes to design your sub.
Use a guideline across the center to help keep things balanced and level. You can erase it later.
The bottom of the submarine goes straight across and curves sharply up at the front and gradually at the back.
The top is higher at the front and slopes gently to the back.
The tail is a half-circle it can be big or little. It is centered on the guideline.

DEVELOPING FORM
Round off the lines and make them smooth and flowing.
The rudder has a second smaller half circle inside the first one. There is a long tall rectangle at the back of it all.

Erase all the extra lines before you start the cool details like portholes and periscope.

DETAILS
Draw double circles a circle around another circle for the portholes. If you have trouble drawing a circle try tracing around something like a button or coin.
Use the shading technique to give the sub roundness.

Don't forget the fish, bubbles, sharks, and mermaids.

I hope you draw a masterpiece

This printable worksheet for how to draw a sailboat is simple and great for when your student says they do not know what to draw.  It uses a few shapes and lines to form the sailboat, and then the bottom example has a scene that includes the texture of the water and distant land to interest the project and introduce a little challenge to the young artist. Sailboats come in all shapes, so if yours doesn't look right, do not get upset because there is one like it somewhere.

Printable Project Notes.

BEGINNINGS
Draw the line where the water touches the bottom of the boat first, make it horizontal and straight across, and don't look like the boat is going uphill. The second line should be the mast. It will be a little ahead of the 1/2 way point. Use simple shapes to form a basic outline of the boat. The sails are like triangles. The boat is like a rectangle with a triangle at the front.

DEVELOPING FORM
The mast is two lines. There is a cabin, it is another rectangle, on top of the first. There are windows on the side of the cabin. The front sail curves, so go over the lines to give it a curve. The front of the boat has a curve. The water at the front of the boat has a splash.

FINISHING TOUCHES
Draw a little man sitting in the back but keep him simple.

Draw islands in the distance.
Add waves to the water. The waves are thicker and darker in the lower foreground and less thinner and lighter in the distance. Add an island or two and the setting sun.

I hope you create a masterpiece!

Begin with the line for the water, this will help keep the perspective true. Next, draw the three curved lines that form the basic shape of the boat, it will look like a long thin banana.  The front and back go high out of the water. The ends go straight up. There is a circle at the back end and a rectangle-like shape at the front.

ADD THE MAN
Start the man as a stick figure holding the long oar. Put him near the back. Make this stick figure have knees and elbows that bend. After you have the position of the man the way you want it then go around the stick figure to make it thick. The hands are like boxes on the oar. Draw the clothing last.

DEVELOP THE FORM
The gondola has two seats in the middle They are half circles with circles inside. Draw a second line parallel to the front and back lines for the keel.

A LOT OF BLACK
The boat is colored black but does not draw it solid- give places where water is reflecting and the paint is shiny. The pants on the man are black, his shirt has black stripes, and his hair is black.

Draw some ripples for the water.

Thank you!

PROJECT NOTES

Start drawing lightly so you can erase it later. Don't worry if the lines are not straight- in real life these boats get beaten up, and a lot of the parts get bent and crooked.

BODY OF BOAT
The Body of the boat is drawn with some straight lines, one for the top and one for the bottom. The front is tilted out at the top and has two lines for the prow. The prow sticks up higher than the side of the boat. The back is like a  bent rectangle

SAIL
Not all sampans have sails but I think the bamboo pole sales look cool, so I put one on our drawing. It is just straight lines. Two go up and down for the mast they touch at the top and are wider at the bottom. There are six or seven lines going across. Do them in pairs so you have a top and bottom of each cross spar. Connect the ends for the cloth.

PUNTER MAN
The riverman is small, so don't try to give too much detail. Start with a stick figure that has a triangle for a chest and elbows in the arms. Put the punt pole in his hands that way you get the position of the hands and arms right. The hands are like squares. Next, draw the body around the stick figure. Lastly draw the clothing. Give him black pants.

DETAILS
Draw circles for tires on the sides of the boat. Draw an eye at the front of the boat. Add ropes and boxes. The house on the boat is another rectangle with an arch at the end. Use lines to show the bamboo poles inside.

If the boat is light make the water dark. if the boat is dark make the water light. Add mountains and trees on the edge of the river for a background.

YOU MAY PRINT THE PROJECT NOTES BELOW.

BEGINNING
Begin with just the boat shape. It curves across the top and comes to a point at the front; the back is straight up and down.  There is a raised deck at the front and a double step-deck at the back.

MAST
Lightly draw the mast without the sails first; this will help to place the sails correctly. The mast are thick so use two lines, one for each side. Use a ruler or straight edge to keep them straight; they were wider at the bottom. There are two major masts; one in the center and one is halfway from the center to the front. There is a smaller mast at the back and a tilted mast at the very front.

There are two cross beams on each big mast. A small cross beam is at the top, and a long one is at the center of the mast. The little mast at the front and back each has one cross beam. The back cross beam goes up and down at an angle.

SAILS
The sails would be rectangular except the blowing wind and stretching makes them taper to points at the bottom corners. The top sales are wider at the bottom and very narrow at the top. Where they connect to the cross beams, the sails dip in a series of "U" shapes.

DETAILS
There are four cannon ports low on the side.
The side has several lines going from front to back.
There is a ledge below the mast on the outside of the ship where the rigging connects.
The flags are The Dutch Cross on the front mast and the British Union Jack on the second mast.
There is a railing around the decks.
The rudder is a curved line and a vertical line going down.
The water in the foreground should be darker, and the water in the distance should be lighter.

The image above should work for most printers, but use the PDF below if you still have trouble. 

CLICK HERE for a PDF file that may print better on some printers (it may require a two-step process, first download the temporary file, next open the file, then print).

Almost every famous artist did a portrait of the boat stuck on the beach- why not you? This is a fun and rewarding project that the young artist can be proud of. There are many different designs and shapes of boats around the world, if yours doesn't turn out like mine, it is OK since somewhere there is a boat just like the one you are drawing.

Draw a line for the foreground sand and another for the horizon before you start on the boat. Start out by drawing lightly, so you can erase.

The challenge for many people is the angles of the boat's sides and how they come together to a point at the front. Think of it as a banana with the back end chopped off. The top lines of the near side and the far side start apart at the rear of the boat; they curve down and back up until they touch at the front. The line of the back goes down at an angle to the sand. The line of the front curves slightly as it goes down and back.

Once you have the basic design, then start to add the details. The walls are thick, so draw a second line next to the tops to show the thickness. There is a seat in the middle; use two parallel lines for its front and back edges, and then a third for the bottom under the front edge. There are ribs going up on the inside; draw these as two parallel lines. Our boat has a floor, draw it as a line going across the inside bottom. The outside wall has boards going across it, don't draw them all the way across- leave a few blank places to give it interest.

Add shadows.

Draw a world around your boat. Shadow in the sand and give the sand texture with lots of dots. Put in some beach grass, add the waves of the sea, and put in some islands or the mountains of the bay far away.

I hope you create a masterpiece!

How to Draw a Pirate Ship. Easy Worksheet

This is a how-to-draw pirate ship worksheet for the beginner artist.

Since pirates used whatever ship they could get their hands on there really was not a special kind of pirate ship that they all had to look like. So, don't get upset if yours don't look just like you want it to there might have been one just like the one you made.

A WORD ABOUT PRINTING
This free printable drawing worksheet may be downloaded to your device and printed easily. if you have any trouble then CLICK HERE to visit my how-to-print page for some suggestions. Remember to use the greyscale setting so you get the shadows in the illustration.

BEGINNINGS
Draw the horizon first. The horizon is where the sky meets the ocean. I draw it first so the horizon is level all the way across the picture. If you goof it up just draw an island in the background but wait for the end for any changes like that.

The outline of the little pirate ship starts out to look like a shoe. The front is a curved line, then draw a second parallel line/ there are two since this is a big piece of wood on the old ships. The back of the ship is a line going mostly up and down but tilted back a little at the top. The bottom and top of the boat is a straight horizontal.

DETAILS
The masts are about as high as the body is long. My example has only two but you can have one or four if you like. I thought it looked better to keep it simple. The mast tilt back slightly. Draw them lightly so if you have to erase over some of them to draw the sails it will be easy. Don't forget the mast that sticks out at the front.

SAILS
The sails are basic shapes of square and triangles but slightly curved, they do not need to be perfect since in real life sails flap around in the wind.

EXTRAS
If you are happy with the basic design then go over it and erase any extra lines that needs to be cleaned up.
Add details like cannon holes, ropes, rudder, anchor, port holes, box like places where stuff would be kept, and maybe a pirate or two.
The waves far away, near the horizon line, are smaller and the waves in the foreground toward the bottom are larger.

FINISHING
Go over your drawing in a darker pencil or color pencils or markers.
If you take your time it will look good.

How to Draw a Tugboat

This is a free printable drawing worksheet art lesson for how to draw a tugboat.

Here is an easy and rewarding project for artists of any age.  It not only uses basic shapes to create the boat but also has a few ideas for details.

Tugboats are cool. They come in all sizes and shapes, so you can make yours just the way you want to. Take your time, and when you are done, people will say," "Wow! What a cool tugboat!"

If you have any problems making the image below print, CLICK HERE to visit my how-to-print page for some suggestions.

Sometimes it takes me hours, but I create these how to draw worksheets, but I do it so that I can give back because I believe when you have been given a gift, it is so you can be a gift to others, and I hope these worksheets are a means of blessing to you.

Here is a link that might print better on some printers.

CLICK HERE for a file in photo format.

Start with lightly drawing the basic outline shape.

Use the basic shapes of a rectangle and triangle.

Stack smaller rectangles for the upper decks. The boat's shape is a little lower at the back than at the front, so angle the rectangle that makes the main body of the tugboat down toward the back. A rectangle makes the smokestack.

Circles make the tires that hang on the sides. They can be any size and don't worry if they are not perfectly round since on a real tugboat they get all beaten up.
Add whatever details you like, such as windows, air funnel, lifeboat, life ring, barrels, boxes, ropes, ladder, windows, and radio antennas.

Go over your pencil sketch with colored pencils or a marker. Color the tires and smokestack black; keep the sides pale. Add rust dripping down here and there. The smoke is darker on the bottom. Don't overdraw the city in the background. You can put a lot of color in the sky and water to make up for the white boat.

I did my worksheet with a fine tip marker and a few broad-tipped markers with different values of gray for the illustration. So you can see it can be drawn nicely with markers.

Here is one way to do the tugboat picture. It is painted in watercolor. I did it in about 40 minutes. If I took my time, it would have been better. (Just like I always say, take your time, and people will be amazed, but if you hurry, it will be disappointing).

How to Draw a Viking Ship, a lesson for the Young Artist.

This how-to draw a Viking ship is a free printable how-to draw worksheet for the young artist. 

This free printable drawing worksheet, How To Draw A Viking Ship, is an artist skill builder for the young artist I designed it for the kids who like Viking ships. You can quickly draw this freehand by following the patterns below. It would make a great cover page on a report or a poster.

How to draw a Viking Ship worksheet for the young artists.

Thank You!

Some printers work better with a PDF format. To print in PDF, CLICK HERE. 

If you like this project, you might want to see how to draw a pirate ship.

Remember to draw the Viking ship large in the center of the paper. Use a light touch with a hard pencil, so when you draw over it in marker, the pencil will be easy to erase. Start with the shapes and work from the outline of the ship to the interior details. You can use coins or jar lids to draw perfect circles for when you are starting the rough draft of the Viking ship.

You don't have to draw it just like I did. Don't draw the Vikings until the end and keep them simple; remember they had long hair and beards, so you can cover a lot up. Color the sail with red stripes. The ship's hull could be brown or gray-brown; the shields were made of wood and painted different designs, but I left that up to you. Use contrasting colors to darken in the shadows. I didn't draw this with attention to the shadows since it was a complicated drawing, but you can figure out where you want the shadows, like under the shields or the hull of the ship.

Don't forget the background; you can put your Viking ship at sea with a blue sky or in a bay with a village in the background. Enjoy!
