A little help with a drawing

Fixed, I am unsure where to go from here.

Looking better, but, while you can have a sweep for your gunports, yours is a tad too much, especially aft. In other words, straighten or flatten your gunport alignment somewhat. Even a pixel here and a pixel there will do wonders! Your aftermost gunports are allowed to penetrate the upper edge of your lowermost gunwale. Also, you have unused space fit to work a gunport into both on your middle gundeck and the upper. As your configuration right now looks like (or will do if you follow my advice!) your ship could be taken for a Russian three-decker of 108-112 guns, built in the 1780s, such as Saratov, Tri Sviatitelia, Rostislav or Trioch Ierachov. Not bad, indeed, for someone who's never drawn a ship like that!
The special thing about those Russian "three's" was the fact that they were based on the British Establishment 1765 2nd Rate three-deckers of 90-98 guns. They dispensed with a covered quarter deck and had no poop. Hence their railings were correspondingly lower and less obvious, and they had an overall lower profile sitting on the water. They did have quarter-deck guns though, and a few of them eventually (including the Rostislav) had poops retro-fitted. A couple of them also featured a two-tiered quarter- and stern-gallery whereas most, including the most famous, Rostislav, featured a traditional three-tiered complex.

To me it all looks very good from here!

what do you mean by sweep an how can I reduce it.

That's the curvature of your gunwales. ( the horizontal lines running along the hull's length) but, thinking about it, just straighten your gun ports, that'll take care of lot!

Ok, begin with the sixth main-deck gunport and adjust it to correspond with the fifth. Then lower all gunports abaft that with between two to three pixels. That ought to take care of the misalignment. Repeat on each deck; on the middle, begin on your fifth port, on your upper, start with your sixth.

do I go fro stern to bow or bow to stern?

I think Bezo meant starting from the stern.

I think it be better to show me rather than tell me as I'm confused as what exactly to do.

Actually, I meant from the bow... My bad if i wasn't lucid enough about that. So, start from the sixth main-deck gunport from the bow and work aft...
