great project! Some of the US wartime transports almost looked like real ocean liners. Sad to see she had such a short career, being used at Operation Crossroads in 1946, only two years after she was commissioned!

Good start, through the high lights on the funnels don't match the shading for the rest of the ship.

If I'm not mistaken, that's the source image showing through

Looking good. If only we would get some shaddowing bellow the overhangs and the superstructures one shade lighter than the hull, then we would have awsome drawing at our hands

I would change the text to
USA, Gilliam Class
APA-64 USS Bracken
(Gunship)

Additionally I'd ad the year which the drawing represents.

Thanks you for your comments
The drawing corresponds to the end of World War II (1945).

Say, do those davits come from one of my LST drawings?
