3. Draw rectangles within the two upper decks. Then, enclose several loosely rectangular shapes.

These are the funnels or smokestacks and the “monkey island.” This is the highest point on the ship, also called the flying bridge, upper bridge, or pilothouse.

5. Draw vertical lines through the rectangles, separating them into windows. On the side of the hull, draw several circles inside circles. These are porthole windows.

Drawing Step 6

6. Sketch an anchor drawing on the side of the boat. First, draw a circle within a circle.

Then, use curved lines to sketch the curved “T” shape of the anchor, with an oval on one end and arrowlike points on the others.

Drawing Step 7
