A gravy boat with a small ladle resting inside is a classic piece from the dinner table, and it makes a calm subject with a nice curved shape. This walkthrough shows how to draw a gravy boat filled with rich brown gravy, its spout tipped and ready to pour.
Drawing a Gravy Boat
Twelve steps carry the piece from a simple outline to a filled vessel. You shape the boat and its handle first, add the spout and the base, then set the ladle in place and fill it with glossy gravy before color. Each step builds on the last for a clean result.
The Finished Gravy Boat
This one rounds out a holiday table nicely next to the turkey dinner plate or the roast turkey platter. All of them belong to the food drawing collection.
