Post subject:  Generic Pre Dreadnought Battleship

Here's a non-shipbucket style drawing I did today of a generic pre dreadnought battleship circa 1900. She is based on some early German classes of ships.
Stats:
12,000 tons
420 ft. long
70 ft. wide
25 ft. draft
18 kn. top speed
40 officers, 625 enlisted men
4x 10 in. guns in two turrets
18x 6 in. guns
15x 3.5 in. guns

I'd rather call it a WiP, as it has a number of lines and elements ending nowhere.
But with moderate effort it could be turned into a SB-style work. ;)

Thanks for your comment! Could you point out some of the places that need to be taken up to SB style standards? I joined in the winter and it took me a while to find a suitable program to draw in (I only have a Mac), but, now that I found one, I'm excited to start.

Here's a little bit of a revision. Fixed some corners to make them SB style. Will add shading and appropriate line color next.

Now I changed the paint job to gray and did some shading on the funnels, turrets, masts, etc. I also changed the lines from gray to black and corrected the remaining non SB corners and edges.

try sticking on a template background as well should make it more ship bucket style, after that just add little details (you can cut some off real ships from the same time frame)

Thanks JSB. I'll try using a template and then add the little details from there.

Looking good so far - Tip: Try and use the work of contributors such as GarlicDesign , DarthPandaand Leut_East as reference for your shading and detailing - those gents are the undisputed champs of realism and attention to detail.

Good idea Oberon. Thanks for your comment.

Lot of new detail in this update. Added more shading to funnels, put in ventilation pipes on the sides of the funnels, more details on the portholes and the crane, and cleaned up some of the excess lines on the superstructure.
