BEGINNING
First, determine the horizon. In this case, it is the hills in the background. The horizon should be high on the picture but leave room for the clouds.
Draw lightly at first so you can erase later.
Use simple lines to sketch a few hills, the far river banks, and the curved road. Keep in mind you are creating a background, middle ground, and foreground.
Use basic shapes to design the covered bridge. Use a rectangle for the side, and front a triangle for the front top a parallelogram for the roof. You are only doing the design at this point. You will do the details later. It is ok to use a ruler or straight edge to draw the bridge; all good craftsmen know when to use tools. The straight lines of the bridge will give an interesting contrast to the picture
Do not put the covered bridge in the center. That is boring; put it between the center and the edge of the picture that makes it interesting.

DEVELOPING
The clouds are the big summer ones that go up high from the horizon. Start by lightly drawing the fluffy humps of the cloud, then draw the bottoms going across. Draw one cloud behind the other, it will make them huge.

Add detail to the bridge by drawing the post that holds up the roof use three verticle lines. Next, draw lines from the top of one to the bottom of the next. Draw around the lines to make them thicker like huge beams. Draw one verticle line and two slanted lines for what is showing through the entrance of the bridge.

Use a lot of long lines back and forth for the water.
Very gently add shadow to the clouds.

This next part takes a lot of time to do well, so do not rush it. Add texture to the trees and bushes by drawing lots of tiny rounded "M" and "N" shapes. Add texture to the bridge by drawing lines for the wood. Use dashes across and more at an angle for the shingles for the roof.
Add rocks to the water and the road.
Give the river bank texture by drawing choppy lines down at an angle.
Use shadow inside the bridge and under it.

Use erasers to clean up your picture.

I hope this is a fun challenge for you and that it turns out well. Would you be willing to support this blog with a little donation through the Paypal button?  Thanks!

DEVELOPING THE FORM
Round the body at the rear and at the shoulder and under the neck. Give the back legs curves going back.
The face starts out like a down-pointing wedge that is cut off at the bottom. Use a line going up and down to help center the face. there is a bony ridge that looks like narrow parenthesis marks.

The antlers are different on every moose so don't worry about making them perfect. Use a line going straight across for the bottom edge of the antlers. and more basic shapes to work out their design.
The ears are two pointed ovals at the top of the head.

Printable Art Lesson Worksheet for How To Draw a Picture of a Ship Coming to You

Thank You!

PDF

CLICK HERE for a file in PDF format.

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 ART LESSON  NOTES.


BEGINNINGS
Start by drawing lightly so you can erase later.
Draw a line straight across the bottom for where the ground, this helps keep the legs right. The tank can be a rectangle or square. Just lightly sketch the basic shape in to get started. Use a guideline down the middle to keep thing even, draw it lightly so you can erase later. Use some lines from the tank to the ground to keep things straight, draw them lightly so you can erase later. Use some lines to make the mountains in the background, draw them lightly you will want to come back to the background later.

DEVELOPING THE FORM
The barrel of the tank is a cylinder viewed from below. Using the cross lines of the square draw a curved line across the top. If the curved line is slight the tower looks lower to the ground if the curved line is very deep it looks like you are nearer to it.
The top curve has the same degree as the bottom curve line. You will have two up curves and one down curve for the far bottom or back edge.
The legs of the tower are slightly outward tilted for support and have cross supports just draw lines to get the arrangements right. Put one line off-center for interest and to give room for the center pipe.

Draw two lines for the ladder, remember they have a slight bend where the tank ends and the outward bending legs begin. Mark off where the cross steps will be so you can keep them even. Use parallel lines to give the ladder substance.

The top of the tank has a roof, draw it like a triangle.

Go around the lines of the legs and the cross supports with additional lines to give them thickness. Then erase the original lines. Draw a third line to keep the planks and beams from looking two-dimensional.

Use marks to plan where the planks are spaced on the round sides of the tank. The planks are wider in the center and closer together as they near the edges, this is perspective. Draw the planks as lines going from the top to the bottom.

Add a figure like a cow or horse or farm worker to give the viewer a sense of size.

The background will give the picture a sense of place. Draw bushes trees hills and mountains. Add grasses and rocks in the foreground. Add a shadow under the tank.

I hope you draw a masterpiece

PRINTABLE NOTES.

BEGINNINGS
Start by drawing lightly so you can erase it later. Begin by drawing a stick figure just to get the pose and size right. The head is tilted back since she is looking up at the flower umbrella. Make the head like an oval for now.
Use three guidelines to help draw the face. One for the eyes halfway across the head. The nose is halfway from the eyes to the chin, The mouth is halfway from the nose to the chin.
Draw a horizontal line to show where the leaf is floating on the water.

OUTLINE THE WINGS.
Outline the wings. The wings have two shapes. The top wing is like a triangle with a bent edge. The bottom wing is like a long letter "U."

DEVELOPING THE FIGURE
Draw around the stick figure to make the body shape. The legs and arms are thin. The knees are a few straight lines. The hand is at an angle and almost square.

CLOTHING
The clothing could be made out of silk so it has flowing lines. Draw the clothing around the figure, then erase the stick figure lines. The sleeve hangs down and curves back. The legs are covered by a skirt, the lines follow the legs on the left side and drape backward on the right side since it is floating in the water.

FACE
Keep the face simple. The forehead dips in at the eyes. The nose is like a triangle. The top lip is like a backward-facing letter "J" laying down. The bottom lip is like the letter "C". Draw the hair with long sweeping lines going over the wings.

DETAIL THE WINGS
Use ovals and circles to add detail to the wings. The circles can go around the edge. Draw the back edge of the wings with a back and forth pattern. Remember to leave the hair.

THE LEAF
The leaf is a straight line at the bottom where it floats in the water and the sides are just some curved lines that meet at points pointing up. The back of the leaf has the stem going up like the back of a chair for her to rest against.

Use curved lines for the ripples in the water.

Add shading.

YOU MAY PRINT THE PROJECT NOTES BELOW.

BEGINNING
Use a few lines to draw a very simple landscape. Here we are drawing meadows and a hill for the village. The hills in the distance are closer together and the hills in the foreground are farther apart.
Be sure to have one big hill for the village.
Make the road that leads to the village with a few zigzags or curves- a straight road is boring.

Old villages had a stone wall around them like a fort for protection. Use a few lines to draw the village wall like a rectangle coming up from the lower hills. Add towers to the village walls.

HOUSES
Some houses are outside the wall but be careful to make sure they are smaller than the wall and be sure to leave the wall showing above those houses.

Use straight lines to make squares and rectangles and parallelograms to create houses. Draw the houses from the corner and not the full side view it is more interesting.

The houses closest to you are the lowest ones. Start with the lowest houses first like an uneven row. Then draw the next row above so they are behind the second row. The higher up the hill the less of the side of the houses you see and more of the roofs are visible. Keep adding more rows until you cover the hill. Have some houses facing one way and some facing another.

Develop the landscape with trees and bushes on the ridges of the hills. Use bushes or stone walls or fences beside the road that leads to the village. The bushes in the foreground will be darker and with more detail. The bushes in the distance will be lighter and drawn simply.

Add towers to the village walls.

When you think you have put in all the houses you can then look at it again and see if you can put in some more. This is hard work and takes patience but it will look good if you do.

Use dots and dashes to make rows for the crops in the fields. Make the rows go in different directions from one field to the next.

OVERVIEW
Do not get upset if horses or chariots or solder are imperfect; when animals and men charge into battle, things lose their shape since muscles are tense, and action changes the perspective a little.

BEGINNINGS
Start by drawing lightly at first so you can erase it later.

Use a guideline to keep the wheel and horse's hooves on level with the ground.

Develop the composition with a stick figure to pose the solder and basic shapes to form the chariot and horses. Use basic shapes like rectangles, circles, and squares to design the horses.

 Keep things loose at this point.

Use a triangle for the chariot and circles for the wheel. (You can trace around a coin for a perfect circle.)

DEVELOPING FORM
Draw around the stick figures to give them fullness. Rember the muscles in the arm. Don't try to draw the armor until after the body is right.

Give the horses curves on the body.

DETAILS
After developing the design, add the details like armor, bridle, a lion's face on the chariot, and weapons.

Use a ruler for the straight lines.

Draw circles for the inside of the wheel and the hub. Draw guidelines all the way through the hub for the spokes, so they are evenly spaced.

Keep the face and hands simple.

ENVIRONMENT
Add an environment, like the countryside, battle scene, or arena.

SHADING
Use shading technique to give the scene roundness. Put a shadow below the chariot and horses.

I hope you create a masterpiece!

PRINTABLE NOTES

GUIDELINES
Start with two guidelines to keep things even. One guideline goes across the mouth and one up and down in the middle.

BEGINNING
Draw a small rainbow arch for the bottom of the top lip, so the mouth looks a little open.
Draw a small "V" for the middle of the top of the upper lip
Draw a very wide "U" shape for the bottom lip. The bottom lip is bigger.

DEVELOPING THE SHAPE
The top of the bottom lip is not straight; Draw a wide slight "U" in the center of the lower lip top edge. Draw a slight upward curve on both sides.
Draw the sides of the upper lip.

Erase the guidelines and clean up the basic shape.

SHADING
The shading is what gives the lips their fullness and roundness. All the light should come from the upper side. The shadows should be on the opposite and lower sides.

The upper lip is mostly in shadow. The bottom lip has a strong shadow below and a little shadow on the top edge. There are light areas in the middle of the lower lip and on the side of the upper lip where the light hits it.

Draw the teeth last. Keep them simple, or else they look dirty.

BEGINNING
Start by drawing lightly so you can erase later.
The body is like an oval or a teardrop shape upside down with a slight tilt to the left at the bottom.
Use two lines to position the tail feathers. They taper to a rounded point at the bottom.

Use two lines to form the beginning of the wing. These lines are shaped like the letter "U."

The basic shape of the head and beak are like two triangles, one pointing forward and down and one pointing backward and up.

The eye is in the middle; draw it first, and use it as a reference to outline the black mask around it.

The feet are only pairs of short straight lines around the branch.

Use guidelines to keep the layers of feathers straight.

Erase the extra lines and add details like feathers. Use short, thin lines to give the feathers a soft look around the chest and waist. Use long lines for the feathers on the wing and tail.

If you work in color, this can be a beautiful picture; use red for the bird. Put blues and greens in the background.

I hope you draw a masterpiece.
