Drawing an Old Sailboat
To me, old sailboats are very stylish and pretty. This was my first sailboat drawing and it took about a full day’s work. I started with a sketch of the form with soft values:
And here is the final work:
I drew it from a photo that I have seen on Pinterest:
I can tell that this photo is very much edited, but I can’t say that it has a clear lighting information that I can use, especially on the boat’s body. For the body, I imagined the light coming from a certain direction that would suit the sails’ lighting.
I could have worked more on the sea, because now it feels like the ship is kind of floating in the air, but I am aiming to improve my sea drawing as well. I do not think the first sailboat drawing of mine was bad. There are things to improve, but I feel like I am on the right track.
