Drawing Noah’s Ark

This is really just a simple rendition, but everyone should recognize it easily.

Here’s how to draw Noah’s famous ark:

	Start by drawing the cabin as a fat rectangle. Don’t worry about an exact measurement; just try to keep it somewhere between a square and twice as wide as it is tall.
	Cut the rectangle in two horizontally.
	Extend the line you just made a little ways past both sides of the rectangle. Finish the roof by connecting the ends of the line to the top corners.
	Make a door to the cabin by adding a rectangle somewhere towards the middle of the bottom rectangle.
	Make sweeping arcs from the bottom corners to start the bow. The ends of these lines should be even and a little bit higher than the corners they start from.
	Use another set of long shallow arcs going from the ends of the arcs you just made down a little farther than the cabin is tall to finish the ship itself.
	Add rolling waves at the bottom.
	Tidy up the lines a bit and you’ve finished your ark.
