Amazing work, and interesting.
I would suggest, that some more work is needed on shading of the underwater hull.

Actually Novice, the u/w hull ought to be satisfactory as is, since Chinese junks had straight bottom sides (slab-sided), not curved as Western ships had. Now I cannot say for sure if these ocean-going ships had slanted (inboards) hull sides. My contention is that they had.
It's very nice to see these highly unusual, and in the West largely unknown vessels, though, as with most pre-1700 ships, it remains also highly conjectural. However, it a marvelous piece of a drawing!

What if they hadn't closed China and stopped Admiral Zhenghe's voyages?
Somehow I guess that, should he have been allowed to sail on, our world would be different today.
Great to see a ship of his mighty fleet on the bucket. Will you post the complete fleet? ;)

根据资料重新画了。
这艘帆船应该是郑和船队中的2000料战舰,主要用于作战使用!2000料战舰是一种大“福船”,“福船”船底铺设硬龙骨呈尖状,适合远洋航行。是郑和船队中的中坚力量。

My English is not good, we can only typing in Chinese. sorry!

Good work.
But I'm afraid that while You can't type in English, we can't read in Chinese. ;)
