Very, very nice. How did you get started doing this type of "anti-aliased" illustration (vs. the pixel art we do)? I've always wanted to branch out but didn't know where to start. I use Photoshop as well - any basic tips? |

@Hood: Thanks so much!They take a little while. Titanic took about 5-6 weeks while other smaller liners are usually about 2-3 weeks each. Most of it is spent researching and photo-gathering though since blueprints can be quite hard to come by! @BB1987 You are very kind @emperor_andreas Thankyou mate and it is very nice to feel welcome! @Colosseum I started off in MS Paint and slowly upgraded the 'tasks' I would complete. To give you an example, a 2012 profile of Titanic started as all-pixel: https://i.imgur.com/U9ZkZ4C.png Then I experimented with shading the drawing using photoshop: https://i.imgur.com/oqsmYQx.png Now I just do everything in photoshop! If I can make some suggestions, use a brush with 100% hardness and a pixel size of 1 or 2 for the edge outlines. ~Mike |

They look professionally drawn, and it would be fitting to see them in a reference book. |

Lovely drawings Mike. Makes one imagine catching a sneek peek through the drawing office window at White Stars offices in Belfast in February/March, 1910 And now I'd venture you're taking a foray into warship design Will be interesting to see how you progress in your unique style and scale (which is VERY close to FD - perhaps with a small tweek you could match FD Scale, which would be extremely AMAZING!) Anyway sir, good day to you and good luck! With kind regards, Andy |

Lovely words adenandy, thankyou! Warships are definitely to my interest - especially Bismarck and Hood! A series of warships is definitely on the cards. If you don't mind my asking, at what scale is FD? My scale is 68 pixels to 1 meter. Cheers! ~Mike |

FD scale is 22.093 pixels to 1 metre. So your scale is far larger than FD scale. |

That's interesting Hood! All my drawings are at 300 DPi resolution. When printed the scale translates to about 1/174. ~Mike |
