Hi everyone Tom McPherson here with a new Circle Line Art School drawing,
this week I'll show you one simple way to draw a sailboat using a pencil for this drawing I'll use
a 4b pencil any soft dark pencil would work well start this drawing by drawing a soft horizon line
next we can draw a line at an angle for the centerline of the sailboat now we can
draw the stern the back of the boat and then the curved hull of the boat the main body of the boat
going to a point at the front at the bow we are seeing just a bit of the inside of the sailboat
as we're looking sideways on at it we're not really looking down at it too much
so we can't see much of inside the boat
we could draw a little bit of a cabin in the center of the boat
maybe with a curve going backwards towards the stern
keeping the whole shape quite simple
and then perhaps we could draw a line of the waves as they touch the edge of the boat
once we have the sketching and lines of the hull we can draw the mast
I will have it going off the top of the paper
for this drawing I'm using a piece of a4 paper a small piece of paper
next we can draw the boom just a double line for the base of the mainsail
now we can draw the jib the head cell just a triangle with a curved one curved edge
the sails could each be triangles with three straight lines but if one of the
lines is curved it will look like the sails are catching the wind
and then we can draw the main sail another triangle again with a curved edge
next we can erase part of the horizon that we no longer need
and maybe add a little bit of detail
now we could add some shading some tonal values to the drawing

and suggestions for future drawings it's really useful for me to know what sort of drawings you'd
like to see next for this drawing it's best to use the side of the pencil when shading
and to smudgy areas with your hand or maybe the edge of an eraser
and then we can also use an eraser to brighten any areas that get a bit too dark or a bit too smudgy
