This drawing shows two small boats floating on calm water. The boats have curved hulls and tall, thin masts with what look like simple sails. One boat has a figure inside, dressed in a blue and red outfit, while the other is empty. The colors are mostly muted, with some gold and green details on the sails. The boats look like they’re made from wood, with a smooth, almost polished surface. The water below is a flat blue, and the sky above is barely there—just a faint line at the top. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching next.
