As for bulges, while not identical,
HMS Polyphemos has a similar hull shape to Kearsage at this point in her life.
As I suggested earlier, find a line drawing, blueprint, etc. of the starboard side, scale it, and trace it. Once you have the basic outline, shading will come in, and we'll help you with that, but it's always a good idea to know the
basic SB style rules before you begin.
Good luck!
