Step 1: Draw a small slanting line, and another shorter line parallel to the first one at its lower side. Both lines start from a tiny round shape at the front.

Step 2: Extend the lower slanting line that runs downwards to form the front portion of the ship.

Step 3: Draw another curved line for the upper side of the ship that extends towards the left.

Step 4: Create two lines at the front of the boat inside its outline, which curve at the top to create your bow boat.

Step 5: Extend the upper part of the vessel toward the backside and then include a small rectangular area there.

Step 6: Draw a curving line beneath the rectangle to the back of the ship.

Step 7: Create waves using wavy lines under the ship, as in the image.

Step 8: Draw waves on and around the sides of the boat.

Step 9: Draw a line parallel to the upper side of the ship.

Step 10: Draw the backside of the ship just as shown in the image.

Step 11: Create an additional outer line to shape the cabin that you have just drawn.

Step 12: Extend the cabin of the ship as shown in the picture.

Step 13: Add the roof to the cabin.

Step 14: Create a few vertical lines under the roof to show detailing.

Step 15: Add two windows in the cabin.

Step 16: Create outer lines around the windows to form the frames.
