To draw an easy boat:
- Start by drawing a long, skinny number "8" lying on its side (an oval shape stacked vertically) which forms the basic hull shape.
- Add two lines down each side of the "8" to create the sides of the boat, extending them slightly beyond the top and bottom.
- Sketch the bow (front) and stern (back) with curved lines connecting the hull sides.
- Draw planks along the boat by adding curved lines inside the hull shape following the boat's curve.
- Add details such as bolts or shading to create a three-dimensional look.
- Optionally, add water reflections or waves around the boat.
This technique of starting with a sideways "8" helps simplify the boat’s general structure, making it easy for beginners to quickly sketch a recognizable boat shape.
