How to draw a beautiful ship with a pencil step by step. How to draw a sailing ship

Nowadays, few people understand that we owe our lives to such an invention of mankind as a ship. It would seem that an ordinary ship floats and transports. But, if we look into history, we will be convinced that one ship is equal in strength to an entire military unit!

The ship is capable of not only transporting people or cargo, mining, but also solving any tactical tasks! So a warship even has immunity from foreign jurisdiction, but it must meet all the criteria that are provided for by the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea or the Geneva Convention on the High Seas.

Lesson dedicated drawing a ship with scarlet sails, a ship for children (child), which you can draw in stages and simple pencil, I also advise you to visit a drawing lesson or, which will draw step by step, creating a beautiful view of the ship.

Video about simple pencil step by step for beginners.

We draw the ship in stages:

Step one. Sketching lines all over the ship.


Step two. We finish sketching the sail and a large line for the sea.

Step three. Now we start drawing the deck of the ship.

Today I decided not to write lesson how to draw a ship, since everything will be clear from the pictures. Together this will be a small philosophical play.

Pirates of the unknown sea

Characters: Captain Kidd, Navigator. The action takes place on the deck of the ship. Our ship sails on the sea of \u200b\u200blife, shrouded in thick fog. Making its way to its destination, it soars over heather fields, mountains, passes through storms and any weather. After an unsuccessful voyage, the ship's crew became very thin. Many left, only the most loyal sailors and the captain remained. The sea is calm. The captain comes out from his cabin to the deck. Captain Kidd: Autumn mood. I would like to close my eyes and believe that the Promised Land is waiting for us soon. Speed \u200b\u200bup! Let's swim to the horizon! Navigator: Captain, we have been sailing too long, we are running out of supplies, we need to go ashore. Captain: If you feel the splashes of the sea in your soul, then you will certainly feel waves of inspiration, splashing beautiful thoughts on the shore of life ...

Navigator: People are not interested in beautiful thoughts, they want bread and circuses. They don't care about anything other than meeting their own needs. Captain Kidd: In fact, only one thing is important: what a person is capable of, and what he is not capable of. The spirit of piracy is in our blood, and nothing can be done about it. The captain looks long and thoughtfully into the distance, takes out his pipe and lights a cigarette. Navigator: We need to change our lives, people are tired, they want change - to start living anew. Captain Kidd: Change? You can, of course, start life from scratch, but handwriting cannot be changed. Navigator: If nothing is changed, nothing will happen. We need to believe in ourselves, go forward, not repeat old mistakes. What are we afraid of? Captain Kidd: Be afraid to lose yourself. Navigator: I have already lost myself, we are lost to the whole world. Nobody knows about us. We are a drop in the ocean, we are nothing! We've lost our happy life! Captain Kidd: And yet, we are part of this sea. And as long as there are particles like us, the sea will live. This is the meaning of our being. And there is no happy life. There are only happy days, minutes, seconds .. The end. Why am I all this? Oh yeah, we must today draw draw ship with pencil!

How to draw a ship with a pencil:

First, draw the frame, the deck.
Add some details, sails and mast.
And here is the actual final result that should be obtained. And as always, I tried everything myself. Here is my boat:
And what kind of boats did you make? Answers to comments. Write what other lessons still to prepare for you. More useful lessons for you.

Long after the Titanic left on the bottom of the sea, people mostly moved on water on boards with dirty sheets attached. The tradition of sending sheets into the deep sea has remained to this day, but as entertainment. And nevertheless, it is interesting, therefore in this lesson you will see how to draw a sailboat with a pencil. A sailboat is a craft that uses the force of the wind to move. Ingenious and simple, cheap and cheerful, but very uncomfortable in complete calm.

The whole truth about life:

  • A sailboat is also a fish that has lived among ships for a long time and its upper fin has mutated into a sheet;
  • The best way to catch motion sickness is to run backwards on deck during a storm;
  • The black labor force appeared exactly when the first ships reached Africa. There were problems with the wind, and the ship had to move. Then the negroes were given oars and the meaning of life;
  • Usually a sailboat does not float on the ground, but when it does, many civilian casualties should be expected.

Drawing a sailboat is easier than building or buying, but it will still look beautiful:

How to draw a sailboat with a pencil step by step

Step one. Sketch some lines that vaguely resemble a ship.
Step two. Mark the locations of the sails.
Step three. Draw the hull and other structural parts of the ship.
Step four. Next, we have to more accurately draw all the elements, outline the contours.
Step five. Let's add shading, shadows, and depict waves below.
I recommend that you take similar lessons.

Nowadays it is rare to find wooden sailing ships. But, nevertheless, sailboats are a favorite object of the drawings of many boys. However, pictures of sailing ships are not easy to draw. They have many masts, various ship rigs, very complex sails and sterns. Almost all old sailing ships were equipped with cannons, the vents of which protruded from the loopholes at the ready. Without cannons, it was impossible to defend against pirates. In this lesson we will be able to step by step draw a shipfrigate cutting the sea waves.

1. Contour of the hull of a sailing ship

First, draw the main outline of the ship. For the future hull, draw a contour like this, from which we will "build" the ship.

2. Add a mast to the sailboat drawing

Now we need to draw the base of the masts of the old wooden sailing ship. To do this, first draw two long vertical lines. The first one on the right will be the largest and the left one is slightly shorter. Mark the masts of the ship with dashes where the sail bars will be.

3. Draw the outlines of the frigate sails

At this stage, you need to draw the outlines of the frigate sails. Draw them in an almost rectangular shape. On the rightmost mast there will be three (triangular). On the middle mast there will be five sails, on the last mast of the ship there will also be five, but only of a smaller size.

4. Stern and deck of a sailing ship

Now we will need to draw the stern of the sailing ship in detail. Draw the side line of the stern with a smooth line and also note that the rear of the stern should be slightly lower in relation to the bow of the ship. Select the nose with another vertical line and draw longitudinal sections along the body.

5. Draw the masts of the sailboat

At this stage, we draw the masts and sails of our sailboat in more detail. First of all, delete the previous unnecessary outlines of the base of the ship and masts with an eraser, and then draw the final shape of all the sails and masts. To make it easier for you to do this, focus on my drawing.

6. The drawing of the sailing ship is almost complete

Now let's deal with the sails of the ship "thoroughly" and stretch their cloth with the wind. Let's start with the first sloped mast. These sails will be in the form of triangles. Let's give these sails a slight bend from the side wind. Draw in detail the main sails of the ship. To do this, vertical straight lines must be replaced with slightly curved ones. This will give the impression of the wind blowing into the sails, and at the same time the movement of the ship.

7. How to draw a ship. Applying shadows

If you will draw the ship with only a simple pencil, then use a soft pencil to apply shadows. Shade hormonal areas of the poop. With the help of shadows, the masts and sails in the picture will become three-dimensional.

In this video, the drawing of the ship is also made in stages, at the last step it is painted with colored pencils.

8. Drawing the ship on a graphics tablet

I made this drawing of a sailing ship on graphics tablet... To draw such a sailboat requires not only a tablet and experience, but also to spend a lot of time, so I advise you to use ordinary colored pencils for coloring. And this picture of the ship is better to use only as an example of how to paint a sailboat.
To make your drawing of the ship look complete, watch the lesson "How to draw the sea" and make small additions to the surrounding landscape of your drawing. You can draw another ship in the distance, or draw storm waves crashing against the side of the ship.


You can draw a shark next to a pirate sailboat. This predatory and dangerous marine animal will only emphasize the sinister character of a pirate frigate or brigantine.


The drawing of a ship, a sailing ship looks unfinished without the surrounding landscape, namely the sea. If you will draw a stormy sea, then try to convey the movement of waves in the drawing.


Terrain maps have been known since ancient times, but for us they are primarily an attribute of pirate times, sailing ships with skulls on the flag, treasures hidden on the islands, which can only be found on the map. Wandering the seas in their sailing ships, the pirates made many hiding places, many of which no one has ever found.


Dolphins love to chase ships out to sea. Perhaps out of ordinary curiosity, or maybe waiting for food, but they can sometimes accompany the ship for hours.


If in our time hunting for whales is prohibited, then in the days of sailing ships, whales were hunted on special whaling vessels. Such ships were called whaling schooners and the fishing gear were arrows (harpoons) tied to the deck with a strong cable.


A figurine of a mermaid carved from wood adorned the stern of almost every sailboat. It was believed that she brought good luck to the ship.

Teaching a kid to draw is not at all such a difficult task as it might seem at first glance. For example, you can explain and show your child how to draw a boat. Of course, before that, it is worth showing the kid pictures with ships or their photographs, and also explain to him what the purpose of the sails, deck, mast and other important details is.
After the conversation, it is worth preparing those items that will inevitably be needed in the drawing process:
1). Paper;
2). Multi-colored pencils;
3). Pencil;
4). Eraser;
five). Black pen (gel is best).


To make it easier for a child to draw a boat, it is worth helping him at some stages. Then the result will surely please him and, perhaps, next time he will be able to portray a magnificent ship completely independently. It is most convenient to draw a ship step by step:
1. Draw the outlines of the ship, making its rear part slightly raised, since the upper deck will be located there;
2. Draw the mast, and in its upper part draw a small observation deck;
3. Draw a sail;
4. Draw a waving flag on top of the mast. Then draw the bow of the ship;
5. Draw the back of the ship. Draw a small flashlight there;
6. To draw a boat beautifully in stages, do not forget about small details. Therefore, depict the windows as well as the anchor. Use light lines to indicate the location of the boards from which the ship is made;
7. Draw a rope ladder leading to the observation deck. Then draw two sailors, because someone has to control the ship. You can draw a boat with a pencil and make it, for example, pirate. Then it is worth depicting the symbol of pirates on the flag - a skull and bones, and instead of sailors draw a couple of these desperate sea wolves;
8. The ship cannot sail through the air, so depict the waves and two fish jumping out of the water;
9. To make the drawing even more interesting, it is worth depicting clouds in the sky and birds soaring in it;
10. Having learned how to draw a boat with a pencil step by step for children, you can proceed to the next stage of work on the drawing - coloring it. To do this, first circle the sketch with a pen, and then remove all excess pencil lines with an eraser;
11. Paint the sky with a light blue pencil, and the sea with blue;
12. Paint the windows and anchor in yellow, and the frames and some other small details in dark green;
13. Color the boat with different shades of brown, fish - yellow, birds - gray, and clouds - blue;
14. Now paint the flag, sail and sailors. Lightly shade the clouds in some places with pink.
The drawing is ready! Knowing how to draw a boat, you can definitely teach this to your kid too!
