How to Draw a Submarine

how to draw a cartoon submarine

First, the shape of a submarine is similar to a sideways oval. The front side or the left side of the oval will be slightly larger than the back side or the right side. You want the back of your submarine to come to a rounded point. Second, draw small rectangle windows on the side of the submarine and draw fins on the back of the submarine. Third, draw a trapezoid shape on the top of your submarine along with a small lookout. Finish your submarine drawing by showing it submerged in water with several fish swimming around it.

1 Tip For Drawing a Cartoon Submarine

Use simple shapes and emphasize the details to give a submarine a cartoonish appearance.  Focus on the primary shapes, such as a huge cylinder for the body and a smaller cylinder for the tower, rather than trying to depict every little detail of the submarine. To give the submarine a more cartoonish aspect, use curved lines, and add any extra features like portholes, periscopes, and fins.
