Q&A for How to Draw a Boat

First, make a basic ship in a slanted position on the page; lightly sketch it so you can easily erase any mistakes. Then, if you're drawing the sunken ship in an ocean, make sure that you draw it as if it were half-buried in sand surrounded by sea plants, coral, etc. Now start adding more details and darker lines to your seafloor/shipwreck sketch. Finally, do the shading and final details (like rust, holes, etc.).

Make sure your shading reflects on the water the way a boat facing forward would look, and draw the mast in front. Also, maybe look at an image of a sailboat sailing straight towards the camera for a better idea.

First start out with simple shapes, then start adding detail. It would help to look at reference pictures, and check YouTube for tutorials.

Start with a simple wooden boat and then add a hood and oars or any other details you want to add.
