I have tried to make in as close to original, as possible. But there are too few photos...

Welcome aboard Olekit and a very impressive first drawing!

Just some notes on the hull shading;

*From what I can see it looks like a stereotypical cruiser stern that will require some degree of shading
[ img ]

*The shading of the deck overhang forwards of the bridge is a tad extreme and suggests a serious overhang, possibly 30-40% of the shading height would be ample to demonstrate the shape.

*The underwater bow shading is a little off, the ram complicates it a tad, might I suggest you look at this image which is a very similar ship of the same type/size/age https://www.dropbox.com/s/rbeyy7zgqu395 ... 0.png?dl=1

Also might want to study the shape of the prow, doesn't look like it's quite vertical at all, rather a smooth curve that nearly reaches vertical


Other than those things its a fine start and I look forwards to more from you!

Rodondo, thanks a lot for your notices. Yes, shades are the most difficult thing for me now. They are not seen at the photos of the 1900-s... And there are no any blueprint of that ship, so, all shapes I draw intuitively.

I've edited my drawing in accordance with your comments:

Very nice first drawing indeed! And it's pleasing to see something, alas, so rare as a Spanish protected cruiser! I'm pleased to see that you found the Victorian boat sheet; I think with this Vickers (Sir William White) design it is extremely fitting! As for the shading, I believe Rodondo might have implied that you should take the shading down, below the boot topping, and you can use the stern of the HMS Chester or any other typical British CL to guide you there.

Welcome to The Bucket, really nice work there already.

One thing you should check out is the overlapping black lines/pixels like in the masts. Always try to do it with 3 pixels, two black for the outlines and one colored in between.

Cheers
Golly
