Today I will show you how to draw the above pirate ship. Either draw it freehand while looking at your computer monitor or print out this page to get a closer look at each step.
Follow the red lines in each illustration to learn exactly what to draw in that step. The lines drawn in previous steps are shown in gray. Here, we’ll show you an illustration of each step and then give you a description of how to draw it.

Step 1:

Draw the long, triangular main shape for the boat.

Step 2:

Add an angled shape at the bottom of the boat. Draw a line along the side of the boat and continue to do so to form a column going out of the front end of the ship. Bring the rope back along the far side of the hull.

Step 3:

Outline the shape of the rear and top of the hull to add depth and create a deck. Use stacked rectangles to add detail to the back deck and steps.

Step 4:

Draw three tall masts protruding from the deck. Add a fourth mast leaning forward from the deck. Draw a long, curved bar that extends to the end of the column on the bow of the boat. Use the lines to outline some of the side beam details on the hull.

Step 5:

Draw long, thin bars on the mast to create the crossbars. Add six circular windows on the side of the boat.

Step 6:

Draw three rectangular windows at the back of the ship. Add a long, thin rectangle below them to create details. Sketch the flag on each mast. Draw two small wedges and a pickaxe-like figure on the far side of the deck.

Step 7:

Draw the sails using the crossbars and masts as guides. The lowest sails on the aft two masts were rolled up on the crossbars. To create this look, draw a rectangle with a squiggly outline.

Step 8:

Draw lines from one crossbar to another. Add some lines that slant down from the center column.

Step 9:

Draw the pencil lines you want to keep with a marker. Remove any extra lines.
