How To Draw A Yacht | a Step-by-Step Guide

' src=

Here are eight easy steps designed to teach you how to draw a yacht in only thirty minutes. The best part? You only need regular drawing materials and techniques to execute the design!

A yacht is a medium-sized sailing or powered boat used for recreational sailing, cruising or racing. Its purpose is rather similar to a speedboat , sailboat and ski boat , but do not be fooled.

The main thing that sets a yacht apart from those oceanic vehicles are the cabins found onboard intended for overnight use. Yachts can also vary in size, with some models featuring swimming pools on deck. Pretty cool, right?

What You Will Need

  • A4 sheet of paper
  • Pencils (HB, 2h, 3b and 5b)
  • Coloring kit

How To Draw A Yacht

I personally like to use a heavier lead of pencil while drawing water vessels. They come in handy when outlining the main components of the drawing, like the hull, deck and cabin.

For the smaller details, I normally use a softer lead. These are differentiated by the terms H (hard leads) and B (soft leads). HB is the common ground, great for soft strokes and lines, and possibly this yacht drawing.

If, however, you’re going for a more dramatic and detailed drawing, be sure to grab a selection of grades. 2h, 3b and even 5b should do perfectly!

How to draw a yacht

Step 1: Draw the Hull

First things first, flip your drawing paper in a landscape orientation to ensure you have enough room to capture each and every detail of the yacht.

Then, lightly sketch a long horizontal rectangle across the bottom half of your paper using the freehand method or a ruler. This shape will represent the yacht’s hull, which is the structural base and foundation of the vessel.

You want this feature to appear as realistic as possible, so erase both sides of the rectangle, and replace them with diagonal lines instead.

  • Flip your paper in a landscape orientation
  • Draw a long horizontal rectangle for the hull
  • Erase the sides and replace them with diagonal lines

Step 2: Draw the Deck and Cabin

With the hull complete, it’s time to add the deck and cabin onto your drawing. Since it rests above the hull, let’s start with the deck. The deck is basically the main floor of the yacht which acts as a platform for people to walk on.

Simply draw a curved line above the hull for the deck. You want this line to start out against the hull, and slowly rise as it spans out in length. Cap it off with a small vertical line to connect the back of the deck to the hull.

Once you’re done, draw a curved horizontal line above the deck for the cabin. Similar to the deck, ensure the line slowly rises as it stretches. Add another curved line above it to polish off the look!

  • Draw a curved horizontal line for the deck
  • Draw two curved horizontal lines for the cabin
  • Ensure that each shape becomes smaller in size

Step 3: Draw the Windows

What would a yacht be without a few windows? Draw a small horizontal rectangle inside the width of each cabin fixture to resemble windows. You want to ensure that the left sides of these rectangles seamlessly connect with the sides of the cabin.

  • Draw a small horizontal rectangle inside the first cabin
  • Draw a small horizontal rectangle inside the second cabin
  • Ensure the sides of the rectangles smoothly connect with the sides of the cabin

Step 4: Draw the railing

Every yacht has a railing as a safety feature for the tourists, so let’s include one on your drawing as well. First, draw a long horizontal rectangle above the hull for the outline of the railing.

The shape ought to overlap with the deck, however it should not be larger in size than the deck, so pay careful attention to the proportions. Then, add a series of small vertical lines within the rectangle for the railing’s bars.

  • Draw a long horizontal rectangle above the hull
  • Make sure the shape does not reach above the deck
  • Add a series of vertical lines inside the rectangle

Step 5: Draw a light and wind tower

Adding a wind tower and a light is a fantastic way to heighten the depth and realism of your drawing. First, draw a small square on the right side of the upper cabin for the base of the light, then add a semicircle above it for the light bulb.

Next, draw a thin vertical rectangle on the left side of the upper cabin for the base of the window, and add a thin horizontal rectangle directly above it. In the end, you should be left with a large “T” shape for the wind tower.

  • Draw a small square and semicircle for the light
  • Draw a thin vertical rectangle for the wind tower’s base
  • Draw a thin horizontal rectangle for the upper part of the wind tower

Step 6: Draw windows on the hull

Your yacht is nearly complete, although it needs a little extra detailing to seal everything together. While the hull comes into contact with water a lot, it provides a scenic view of the ocean from down below.

To add the windows, draw several small rectangles across the length of the hull. Give the yacht an organized look by sectioning them off in pairs of four, and ensuring each shape is exactly the same size.

  • Draw a series of small rectangles on the hull
  • Section them off in pairs of four
  • Ensure each shape is the same size

Congratulations! Your yacht Drawing is complete

If you followed along with each step and completed your yacht drawing in one go, well done! Give your drawing hand a well-deserved break and assess the outcome of your drawing.

Refine any possible inconsistencies with the use of your eraser, pencil and the image below. When you’re ready, check out the rest of the tutorial. Trust me, you don’t wanna miss out these steps!

Taking your yacht drawing to the next level 

The outline of your drawing is all set, but still it needs a little…something. A few crucial details that can take your drawing from a bland piece to a lively masterpiece in a matter of seconds!

Step 7: Adding a background

Adding a background will instantly broaden the scope of your drawing. It will add an aspect of storytelling to your design by leaving room for the imagination to fill in the blanks.

There are quite a few ideas to choose from for a yacht drawing, however the most obvious one would be to include the ocean in the surrounding, wouldn’t you agree?

Whether your yacht is currently docked next to a cruise ship or rowboat , or out on the ocean, add water by drawing a few wavy lines around the bottom part of the yacht.

Step 8: Adding color

Set aside your drawing tools and pick up your coloring kit! Select a range of your favorite colors for the outline of the yacht and a series of blue shades for the water. When coloring in the yacht, remember to use different colors for different elements to compliment and provide contrast to each step.

You can add some extra items to your drawing to make the yacht more unique, like a flag or banner with your name on it.

What about some fish? You could draw a bunch of fish in the sea surrounding your yacht to improve the details and visualization.

  • Learning to draw is really about learning to see. Study boats each day and draw them until you can get them as close as you can to the real objects you're observing. Thanks Helpful 1 Not Helpful 1
  • To get better at drawing, make sure to practice blind contour drawings observing objects and people. Do not worry about the results, as the idea is to train your eye to slow down and to work in tandem with your hand. Thanks Helpful 0 Not Helpful 0

About This Article

Kelly Medford

One way to draw a boat is by sketching a sailboat. Start by making the outline of a trapezoid to sketch the main body of the boat. Then, draw a smaller trapezoid in the middle of the boat, with a long line running perpendicular to the body of the boat. Next, draw a right triangle off of the right side of the line, and another, slightly smaller triangle off of the right side of the line. You can make the body of the boat 3-dimensional if you’d like. Once you have the basic shapes, trace the outline and erase the extra pencil marks before filling it in with color.

Step-by-Step Realistic Boat Drawing Tutorial

You can see from the main image that the boat sketch we are going to do today is quite complex. There are many small details and tricky elements, but we have tried to make boat drawing easy for all artists. We begin the tutorial with several simple steps that help us to build up the final shape of the boat drawing. We then begin to add the smaller details, before using color to bring our boat drawing to life.

You can see an outline of the different steps in the collage below. 

how to draw a ship

Most of the realism in our drawing of a boat comes from the coloring steps. Whenever you begin learning how to draw a new subject, we find it best to use a coloring medium that you feel most comfortable with. Whether you are a digital artist or prefer physical mediums, you can simply adjust the instructions to suit your needs. If you are using a physical medium, like paint, we suggest using a light pencil for the initial construction and outlining steps. For digital mediums, use a separate layer for these steps. 

If you are ready to dive right in, find somewhere comfortable to sit, and let us begin!

Step 1: Shape the Main Body of the Boat Sketch

We are going to begin our boat drawing by creating the basic shape of the hull. Start by finding the central point of your drawing area, and begin drawing the long curved shape. The shape is like a canoe, with a curve up and in on either end. 

boat drawing 01

Step 2: Outline Some Details

We are now going to begin adding some smaller details. Begin on the far left end of the boat sketch, drawing a curving canopy shape. Add a small narrow band around the base of the boat drawing below this canopy, and then add a small tear-drop shape in the front point of the boat. 

You can also add a small rope-like protrusion from the front (right side).   

boat drawing 02

Step 3: Draw the Sails

In this step, we are going to draw the main sail and the front sail of our boat sketch. Begin with the main sail, a large curving rectangle above the middle part of the boat. You can then draw a long mast behind this sail, extending from the base of the boat and up above the top of the sail. You can then draw a smaller and more angled sail above the front bow of the boat. 

Again, you can draw the mast which should be angled towards the right side of your canvas and extend slightly above the sail.   

boat drawing 03

Step 4: Add In the Railing and Ropes

There are two main objectives for this step. Firstly, we are going to draw the railing of the deck, and then we are going to add the sail ropes. Let us begin with the barrier, starting with a curving shape that extends along most of the length of the boat. Then, using equally spaced lines, create several support beams. To complete this step, you are going to add the ropes for the sail. Begin by adding a bar along the top of each sail, and then draw several ropes that extend from the top of the masts to each corner of the sails. 

You can also draw some ropes that join the sails to the deck of the boat. 

boat drawing 04

Step 5: Draw the Ocean and the Oars

We are now going to add some context to your boat drawing. Begin by creating some gentle ocean waves around the base of the boat drawing. You can then draw some oars that extend from the side of the ship down into these waves. Generally, the oars should be facing backward, but you can create some variation in their angles for additional realism. 

boat drawing 05

Step 6: Create Texture Within Your Realistic Boat Drawing

Things are starting to get exciting now. At this stage, we have the basic elements of our boat drawing complete, and we also have some of the finer details. We are now going to add some textural details to the sails and bow. Let us begin with the sails, using some fine horizontal and vertical lines to create a series of blocks. 

Within these blocks, add some fine texture lines to emphasize the three-dimensionality. 

Next, using fine and long strokes that follow the shape of the bow, create some wooden plank details. Create texture within these planks, and use fine lines to add more texture where you think it is necessary. As a final detailed touch, draw a wooden eye on the front of the boat sketch. 

boat drawing 06

Step 7: Add Some Light Texture to the Waves

We are now going to add some final texture to our sketch before we begin using color. Within the shape of the waves, create some fine arched lines that represent a realistic ocean wave texture. 

boat drawing 07

Step 8: Begin Coloring the Wood of Your Boat Sketch

In order to create our realistic boat drawing, we are going to build the color up gradually. In this step, we are going to add a base coat of color to the wooden parts of our boat sketch. Use a regular paintbrush and a light brown shade of paint for this.

Fill the base of the boat with an even coat of color, and then move on to the masts. 

boat drawing 08

Step 9: Color the Sails

We are now going to complete our base color coat by coloring the sails. Use a regular paintbrush and a light shade of cream paint to carefully color the main sail and the front sail. 

boat drawing 09

Step 10: Add Some Color to the Ocean

Let us now move on to the ocean, using some light blue paint to fill in the waves surrounding the base of your boat drawing. 

boat drawing 10

Step 11: Start Contouring Your Boat Drawing

Now that we have the base colors down, we are going to begin adding more structure. For this step, you are going to need a small blending brush and a touch of black paint. Begin to add some definitions between the panels of wood on the side of your boat drawing. You can also add some shading to the masts, the oars, and the back curve of your ship. 

Tip: When using black for contouring or shading, always begin very lightly and darken as you need to. Black is almost impossible to remove once you have applied it.   

boat drawing 11

Step 12: Continue Shading Your Boat Sketch

We are now going to continue shading our drawing of a boat with a slightly finer tough. Use a sharp detailing brush and some black paint to add some fine shading along the details on the side of your boat. This will include things like shading around the eye, between each of the planks of wood, and within the canopy. 

boat drawing 12

Step 13: Start Shading the Sails

Let us now move on to the sails. With a blending brush and the same brown that you used as the base coat for the boat, create a gentle blend of color up the sails. The bottom and sides of the sails should be slightly darker, and blend smoothly into the lighter cream color at the top. 

Tip: For an extra smooth transition, you can use a clean blending brush to carefully all of these colors together. 

boat drawing 13

Step 14: Darken the Shading on the Sails

As we did with the body of our boat drawing, we are now going to add more detailed shadows to the sails. With a small blending brush and some dark grey paint, add shadows on top of the textured areas. The grey shading should mostly be focused around the pleats in the sails, around the edges, and above the texture lines. 

boat drawing 14

Step 15: Apply Highlights To Your Drawing of a Boat

The last few steps have focused on creating darkness within our boat drawing. We are now going to begin to contrast these shadows with a  touch of highlighting. With a blending brush and some white paint, begin by creating a faded highlight on the lightest areas of the sails. Then, with a more detailed brush and white paint, apply highlights to the areas of the boat that are most likely to catch the light. These areas include the top of the canopy, the top of the masts, the railing, and on top of the ores. 

Tip: When creating highlights, it is easiest to pick a light source. You can then imagine where the light would hit from that angle.   

boat drawing 15

Step 16: Create Three-Dimensions in the Water

We are now going to shift our focus to creating structure within the waves. With a small blending brush and a touch of black paint, apply some light shading along the edges of the water. You can shade beneath the wave lines that you drew previously, giving the impression of moving water. 

boat drawing 16

Step 17: Highlight the Ocean Waves

Just before we finish our realistic boat drawing, we are going to add a few spots of highlight to the water surface. Use a small blending brush and some white paint to apply short strokes of light onto the water surface. 

boat drawing easy

Step 18: Finishing Your Boat Drawing

In this last step, we are going to add some final spots of water spray and then remove the outline. Begin by using a small blending brush and some white paint to create some realistic water splashes against the side of the boat. You can then remove the dark outline form your boat drawing, leaving you with a seamlessly realistic sketch. Use a fine detailing brush and the corresponding color at each point of the outline to carefully trace over it. You can do the same for any inner texture lines.

How to Draw A Boat – A Step by Step Guide

Boat drawing in just 7 easy steps.

yacht drawing easy

Boats have served many purposes since the very first time that humans connected logs and sticks together to make crude boats.

They’ve been used for people to travel to distant, new lands, to mount expeditions and for fun days traveling over lakes and oceans.

No matter what they may be used for, there are few vehicles that provide the freedom and possibilities for exploration that boats do.

If you love boats and the freedom they provide, then you may want to know how you can draw one.

how to draw boat in 7 steps

How to Draw A Boat – Let’s get Started!

For this first step of our guide on how to draw a boat, we will start with the main body of the vessel. To draw this, simply start with a straight line for the top of it.

Then, you can use a curved line beneath it to form the bottom of the boat. Try to keep the front of the shift, which is on the left-hand side, pointier than that right-hand side.

Step 2 – Start drawing some sails for your boat

For this part of your boat drawing, we will start on the sails of the boat. For now, simply draw two short lines to form the pole of the sail.

Then, draw a vertical line to form the bottom of the sail as it appears in the reference image. Then, you can move on to step 3!

Step 3 – Draw the rest of the sail

Now that you have the base of your sail, you can draw the sheet in this step of this guide on how to draw a boat.

To do this, simply draw two vertical curved lines that go up from the ends of the base. Finally, connect them with one horizontal line on top of the sail to complete the sheet.

Step 4 – Continue adding to the mast

We will extend the central mast of your boat drawing in this next step. To do this, simply draw two more lines coming up above the sail.

You can use a ruler or a straight object to make sure that they line up with the bottom lines of the mast below the sail. Finish it off with a small circle on top of the mast.

Step 5 – Next, draw some fun details for your boat

Step 5 of this guide on how to draw a boat will be all about adding some extra elements to your drawing.

To start off with, draw a flowing flag near the very top of the mast. Maybe you could design a symbol or picture to go on the mast for an extra fun detail!

Then, draw some more lines coming out from the sides right at the very top of the mast. This will form the support beam that the top of the sail is attached to.

Finally, finish off with some jagged lines coming out from the base of the hull to create some ocean water that your boat is sailing on.

Step 6 – Now, draw some final details

This part of your boat drawing will be focused on drawing some final details for your boat drawing.

We have shown one way that you could draw some final details, but you should also feel free to add any changes or extra details that you want!

We used some long, horizontal lines across the hull of the boat with some shorter vertical lines to create a wooden look for the boat.

You could also leave those lines out and change the details a bit if you would prefer a more metallic, solid look for your boat.

Whichever look you decide on, before you move on you can also draw some fun extra details.

Perhaps you could name your new vessel and write it on the side for us to see! You could also add to the background, perhaps by drawing some clouds and rougher waters for it to sail on.

For another fun touch, you could draw yourself sitting in the boat to show you piloting your very own boat!

Step 7 – Finish off your boat drawing with some color

In the final step of this guide on how to draw a boat, we shall be bringing your picture to life with some beautiful colors.

This is the step where you have an opportunity to really show off how creative you can be! You should use any colors that you love for your incredible boat drawing.

Boats come in all manner of different color schemes, so this leaves a lot of room for you to experiment.

Will you choose a more muted, wooden look or use some bright and vibrant colors to really make your picture pop off the page?

Different art mediums can also create multiple feelings and moods in an image. For example, acrylic paints, colored pens and markers are perfect for bright and vibrant color schemes.

Alternatively, watercolor paints, colored pencils and crayons can create darker, more subtle and moody images.

There’s no right or wrong way to do it though, and each approach has its own beauty to it. We can’t wait to see what you choose!

Here’s how you can make your boat drawing even better…

Stay afloat as you follow these fun tips for making your boat drawing even better!

This guide on how to create a boat sketch was so fun and simple, but there are ways that we can keep going with it!

The first tip that we have for you involves changing the style of boat. This one has a sail to make it look like a traditional sailboat, but if you wanted to have a boat with a motor then you could remove the sails and add one.

You could also just change the sails and the hull of the ship to create your very own new design!

What good is having a boat if you don’t get to sail it? For that reason, we think it would be great to draw a background for this drawing of a boat.

When doing this, you could draw some heavy ocean waves or maybe the calm waters of a lake.

There is so much beautiful scenery that you could add to the background to create a stunning sailing setting.

Boats will usually have markings on them, and will often also have the name of the vessel printed on the hull.

You could choose a name for your boat creation and then write it on the side to show what it is called.

Then, you can add some stripes and other patterns onto the side and the sails in order to personalize it even further. What would you name this vessel?

Lastly, you can play around with your colors and art mediums to make this boat drawing look even more beautiful.

There are so many colors you could use, and you can play aorund with various art tools and mediums to get the color intensities you want.

Colored pens and acrylic paints would be great for a brighter look, whereas some watercolors would be best for a softer look.

It all depends on what you prefer personally, and you can really show off your creativity as you choose your colors!
