How to Draw a Pirate Ship


Ahoy there landlubber! If you have a thirst for adventure and mountains of gold then a pirate ship is where you belong. This ship was made for looting and pillaging on the high seas!


There are a lot of curves in this drawing. In fact, only the masts have straight lines. This pirate ship is a black silhouette against the orange backdrop of a setting sun.


I did the sun by airbrushing orange and red tints over a transparent light orange base. The ship is painted black, with finer details done with pencil.
