Draw a Row Boat

The modern rowboat is thought to have evolved out of ancient Viking ships and Spanish galleys. The craft shrank significantly in size and has been perfected over the years. The design of the boat is ultimately determined by what the craft will be used for. One of the most beautiful designs, the Whitehall, comes out of New York from the early 19th century. The crafts are easy to draw and fun to learn about.

Instructions

    • 1

      Start by drawing a curved triangle shape. This will become the main skeleton of the rowboat.

    • 2

      Draw lines down from the front and back corners. Connect the two lines with a curved line that will become the bottom.

    • 3

      Make the top rim of the boat.

    • 4

      Draw the inside of the boat and the outer line that divides the side.

    • 5

      Place three rectangles inside for the seats.

    • 6

      Drop lines down from the seats to make them three-dimensional.

    • 7

      Put the oars on the top of the boat. The oars are made by drawing a long skinny rectangle with a rounded rectangle on the end. Draw the metal holders for the oars.

    • 8

      Trace the lines with pen and erase the pencil once the ink is dry. Add color if you wish.
