You might already know from the movies, TV shows, video games, and books that the Vikings were one of the strongest folks to ever walk the Earth. As for their ships, they were truly exceptional. With a unique design and advanced features, they gave the warriors an edge in open sea battles as well as transportation capabilities during wars.

Some Things To Keep In Mind…

These tutorials are only here to guide you. Your drawing does not need to look "identical" to mine.

Start with rough but light pencil strokes that you can work into the shapes you want.

Once you have your rough drawing completed, go over it in a darker stroke for your final drawing.

Add shading and/or color to complete if desired.

Using this technique you will be able to draw anything after some practice... even without following step-by-step tutorials.
