How to Draw a Man Fishing

1. Begin by drawing the bucket hat or fishing hat. Draw a curved line, and extend curved lines from each end. Connect them with a wavy line. Then, draw the hat's ventilation holes using small circles.

2. Next, draw the man's face. Use curved lines that meet at jagged points for the hair, and additional curved lines to outline the ear, forehead, nose, chin, neck, eye, eyebrow, and smiling mouth.

Enclose a small oval within the eye to indicate the pupil.

3. Outline the gumdrop shape of the vest and torso using a curved line. Double a line back upon itself to form the arm, and draw a partial oval at the shoulder.

Use curved lines to enclose the rounded triangle and rectangle shapes of the pocket and its flap. Detail the pocket with two lines and a shaded circular button.

4. Continue the arm with a pair of curved lines. At the end, draw the irregular shape of the hand. Use overlapping curved lines to complete the shirt and torso.

5. Next, draw the fishing pole. Use a partial circle for the reel and curved lines for the reel's handle, the grip, and the man's hand. Then, extend a pair of long curved lines that meet at a sharp point to form the rod.

6. Draw short, thick, curved lines extending from the rod to form the eyes that hold the fishing line.

Then, draw the line itself, using curved lines between the eyes and a long straight line pointed toward the water.

At the end of the line, enclose a half-circle and extend a straight line above it. This forms the bobber.

7. Use overlapping curved lines to draw the man's shorts and legs, with curved rectangles forming the cuffs of the pants.

Then, draw the dock. Enclose a rectangular shape using straight lines. Indicate the side with a horizontal line, and planks with diagonal and vertical lines.

8. Extend a pair of straight lines down from the dock to form a support, and enclose them with a series of curved lines to indicate waves on the water.

Enclose the irregular shape of the man's boots. Then, draw curved lines to form ripples around the floating bobber.

9. Complete the scene. Draw a horizontal line in the background to indicate the horizon. Above it, use curved lines to enclose fluffy clouds.

Draw pairs of curved lines that meet at points to indicate waves on the surface of the lake or ocean.

Color your cartoon of a man fishing. What will he catch? Bass and salmon are freshwater favorites, and the swordfish is a sportfish at sea.
