How to build and shape the ship's bow (front)?

[Pharos]

I'm designing a battleship. Not too large, but not too small either. Thing is...I don't know how to shape the ship's bow (front). Sure you can draw, but, how can I make it look like a proper bow?

start with a 4m slope and then go with 3m and 2m slope, that gives you a nice "curved" look on your ship,
then you go to the side of your ship and determine how tall it should be and what kind of shape it should have towards the bottom (for example a U-form with a flat bottom or maybe a V-form)
after you decided how tall it should be, you can start extending the sides to the front and try to match the slopes you build earlier
atlast you design the tip of the front of your ship, thats how I do it

Regardless of whether it bows inward or outward, just use triangle blocks and inverted triangle blocks to pinch it. Once it gets to the lowest point of the ship, you can choose to leave it flat-bottomed or continue working. I try to only have a 1m wide center line, as more makes the ship look clunky and may not combine properly.

Messing around and practice, Sometimes I make an interesting shape on purpose. Sometimes it just happens. And then every once in a while I get the shape I had in my head to come out. :p
