Not the German one - the British one. This is a Flight One boat. Some of the Odins had a squared-off prow, which I might draw later: this is the prow I've seen on the majority of photos, as well as the one used for the Chilean export submarines.

Three of these boats were also exported as the Capitan O'Brien class to the Armada de Chile.

shaddowing you are using somehow makes the whole drawing look rather smeary. Also, try to avoid as much black lines inside the hull's outer perimeters

Understood and agreed. After I posted this I started repainting Odin to try to solve the problem; I feel it looks a lot better and conforms better to the hull colors on DP's sub drawings, but it's not the "approved shipbucket hull colors" (so to speak). I'll post it over lunch, and if it's preferable, we can submit that one instead.

Same ship, different coloration.

Post subject:  Re: Odin-class

well my concern was not about colors in general (we need to be as historically accurate inside our frames), but the way you shaded the colors. It seemed that in the first versiont the darker shade was "too" dark in contrast to the ligther shade. Then when you add that against black pixel, it makes the ship and its lines to disdort somewhat in the viewer's eyes. It migth work well if we would try to create artistic painting effect, but in Shipbucket we are not.

I think DP has done some Royal Navy submarines in afromentioned paint scheme, I suggest you to shamelesly copy his way of shading (expecially at the bottom of the hull)

Otherwise keep up the good work.

Well, hopefully not, but I've a history of taking my drawing projects to 95% completion and then starting something else, getting distracted, or just downright forgetting. :P

Nice one :) . I'm curious about the class name 'Odin', rather than 'O' class, is that correct?

And I'm with Golly; on shamelessly appropriating other's styles (when it improves my own).
