Pointed-Beard Pirate Lunging in a Deck Sword Fight

A pirate with a pointed beard and slicked-back hair lunges across a ship deck, one arm stretched out in front of him. His loose shirt, wide belt, cuffed sleeves and tall boots are all drawn with plenty of room for color. Behind him, a ragged, scruffy crewman crouches on the edge of the planks and holds up a round object on a handle. His clothes are torn and his face looks rough and gnarled. The wooden deck is splintered and broken in the foreground, with jagged boards and a ragged strip of wood sticking up. Thick twisted ropes hang from the top of the page, and a railing runs along the back. Try browns and tans for the wood, then use darker shades in the cracks so the damage stands out. This printable page also works well for talking about the parts of a ship, such as rigging, rails and deck planks.
