The pirate flag is also known as the flag of a skull plus two crossed bones, and it is definitely the symbol of a pirate ship. The role of the pirate flag is undisputed - to spread fear into the hearts and minds of their prey at sea.

In the old days, pirate ships used the flag of any country as camouflage in peacetime and raised the pirate flag in wartime to terrorize those merchant ships.

In today's drawing tutorial, we are going to learn how to draw a pirate flag. Pirate flags actually come in a variety of colors, but no matter what flag pirates fly on their ships - black, white, or red - they always symbolize looting and death.

We will start by drawing a tattered flag, then add a skull and crossbones to it to get a pirate flag. If you are interested, follow the instructions step by step and try to draw one.
