hull shading wrong... but otherwise.... it looks rather good. I don't know the real ship though.

A great subject: those French ironclads had a unique look. Apart from some obvious errors its a very good drawing. You've omitted the darker lines under the overhangs, and it is Shipbucket standard to differentiate between the hull and the upper works by a darker shade to the hull. Also, we don't as a rule show guns trained out but fore and aft.

Guns in the spotting towers? LOL, France

Look great
Hopefully you draw others french ships

PS: small error in name credit
Not CA (heavy cruisers), but more likely AC (armored cruiser)


+ maybe ? a small handfull of error in very small details, but not dramatic (Your ship config ? in early or late career ?...)

Looks good to me mate,keep going.Nice drawing.

The 'guns' are in fact torpedo tubes, two on each side at main-deck (just above the armour deck)

Actually the hull and the superstructure are different colors. And there are darker lines under the overhangs. I guess I should have used more contrast shades? One more thing: is it better to use the original color scheme or stick to ShipBucket's standard?
Ok. According to the blueprint ALL of the small guns (that are not in turrets) are facing sides directly or in 45 degree angle. Does it mean I should just remove them from the drawing? I just want to be clear
It's ACR to be exact. I'll fix that.
The thing is I can't tell a dramatic error from a small one Could you point them out please so I could avoid them in the future?
I used what I believe is the original blueprints so I'd say it's "as launched".

Thanks you guys for the feedback!

As far as I know she didn't have any torpedoes. If you're referring to the "thick" short guns - they are Hotchkiss 37mm revolver cannons.
