How to Draw a Submarine in the Water
This drawing method showcases a submarine partially submerged in water. The tutorial begins with a simple oval shape for the body of the submarine, progressing to adding portholes, the conning tower, and other details that characterize a submarine.
By step five, waves are added to illustrate the water surface, and the final step brings in color, defining the submarine’s presence in the aquatic environment. This technique emphasizes the interaction of the submarine with its surroundings, capturing both the vessel and the water in which it resides.
Enhancing Your Submarine Scene
As we dock our artistic vessels after this deep dive into drawing submarines, remember that every sketch is a step towards mastery. Here are some extra tips to elevate your drawings and bring the oceanic world to life around your submarine:
- Surroundings Matter: Start by adding some seaweed or coral to create a natural underwater scene.
- Bubbles and Currents: Depict bubbles coming out of the submarine and wavy lines to represent water currents.
- Marine Companions: Why not sketch some fish friends or a curious octopus peeking out from behind the submarine?
- Sunken Treasures: Imagine a sunken chest full of treasures on the sea bed, adding a hint of adventure to your artwork.
- Aquatic Ambiance: Use different shades of blue and green to paint the water, giving your drawing a real underwater feel.
By incorporating these elements, you’ll not just sketch a submarine; you’ll craft a whole underwater story on your canvas. Keep practicing, exploring, and adding more details. With each new drawing, you’re not just creating art, you’re exploring an endless ocean of imagination.
