Welcome on board Airborne67
First look at this link
http://shipbucket.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=16. Then find good pictures with side views and - if possible - some good line drawings. Study some of the other members drawings and read critics so you can catch some good hints, and then draw. Post your drawing in "Beginners forum". It doesn't have to be complete because when you post your drawing you've opened for critics and most important helping guidelines
I'll hope you will find this challenge amusing and exciting as all we other do
Edit: I've just found this link
