STEP 1 Sketch the Lines of the Hull
Star t with the lines of the hull, which tilt slightly upward on the left side.
The graceful lines of boats and shimmering water reflections inspire great compositions. For this demonstration, we’ll start with a simple side view.
STEP 1 Sketch the Lines of the Hull
Star t with the lines of the hull, which tilt slightly upward on the left side.
STEP 2 Finish the Basic Shape of the Hull and Indicate the Cabin
Connect the ends to complete the basic shape of the hull. Add lines to indicate the placement of the cabin.
STEP 3 Add the Side of the Cabin and the Top of the Hull
Draw the side of the cabin and the curve of the top of the hull. The boat is viewed from the side and at a distance, making it look flat.
STEP 4 Add Details
Sketch in details, including windows, trim and the man.
STEP 5 Shade to Finish
Add values to the elements. Use long, straight pencil strokes on the hull. Make the inside of the cabin dark.
