My first drawing.
HMAS Sirius of the Royal Australian Navy.
I could find no plans or high quality side photo's of this ship so i had very little to work with.
Also how do you get good clean creditation? I did the appropriate font and size but it came out funny for some reason.
I borrowed tenders and radar equipment from others work but due to their small size and realtive insignifigance to the overall drawing i was unsure if i was supposed to credit them.
Any tips guys?

That's a decent start, though it will benefit from more work on detailing etc.
As for the size of fonts in credits, I'm afraid that font size worked for sized written in particular version of Word, copied into particular version of graphics editor, so You just have to try to find the proper-ish size in a trial-and-error way.

I'm just going to chime in that I think it's a very good draft.

I would personally not call these as accurate without proof.... they look to be of an style that I have seen before, but with large inaccuracy's in it.

Sorry for taking awhile on this, life has been hectic for me lately and thankyou for the support and advice everybody.

I have been reviewing all my source images and i can't find anything else to fix. I am however new at this so can anybody see anything obvious that is wrong?
