How to Draw a Boat for Beginners - Three Ways - Easy Boat Sketching

[@LindySellsHomes]

I, too, enjoy sketching boats. And I joined your #boatober2024. It’s a fun challenge.

[@dougjacksonart]

Glad your enjoying it.

He can draw and he's handsome ! Seriously, though, this was very helpful and useful. I'm excited to start playing with these tips. Definitely helped me to see things differently, thank you! x

[@dougjacksonart]

Glad it was helpful and thank you. 😊

[@fanatlarge]

Thank you. I've found some useful advice in all three approaches. In particular the figure 8 is a good idea to get a handle at unwieldy boat shapes. Maybe I'll even find the courage to try some of your #boatober challenge :-) .

[@dougjacksonart]

Go for it!!

[@pamteal5433]

Fascinating to see a cross over of industrial design techniques and my favoured loose sketching style - thank you Doug very much looking forward to more technique videos.

[@dougjacksonart]

Thanks so much Iain. 🙏 Glad you got something from it 👍

Brilliant method for drawing boats thanks for sharing your knowledge , I am going to delve into your processes of drawing and minimalist colouring. Thanks and have a great day

[@dougjacksonart]

Have fun! Thanks for the kind comment. 😊

[@DotyML]

Very interesting! I never heard of the figure 8 method and it really is simple. The box method makes me think more but it looks like it offers more variety of angles for viewing the boat. Thank you so much!

[@dougjacksonart]

Yes the figure of 8 only works for shallow angles. The box method is the most usefull 😊

Great information and am going to give boats a try. My usual boats are in the distance with no detail as found it difficult getting shapes etc correct. Your instruction is perfect. Thank you.

[@dougjacksonart]

Have fun! Thank you so much 😀 for your lovely comment.

[@SebticSmile]

Very helpful techniques, will definitely try them out! Thanks for sharing.

[@dougjacksonart]

Glad it was helpful! Let me know how you get one.

[@simon3030able]

Thanks Doug..(nice arty scarf, btw) I've used the figure eight method before, and it works really well, as long as the angle of boat fits, but the box method is a winner - I'll have to see if my #boatober23 efforts now get better...

[@dougjacksonart]

[@pilarperales6981]

Hi Doug. Which is the fountain pen you are using that can draw fine and thick lines? I spend money in some fountain pens but they are quite rigid and I can get that flexibility feom them. Thank you!! I love your videos. They make me want to draw more and more😊

[@dougjacksonart]

This one is a Noodlers Ahad flex nib pen . Thanks for your comment 👍

[@pilarperales6981]

Thank you. I am learning a lot with you and excited to try new things.
