There's no such thing as "nothing left to draw" If you can down 10 pints and draw, you're doing alright by my standards

Agreed, I know little to ko stuff about modern designs, but the drawings are deffinetly top-notch quality. I really like all the multi-perspective views.

Apart of the sea hull that should be a bit more rounder and have a more a V-bottom, it's almost as good as me... hahaha no seriously, this is a very good work.


I have an idea: give the top view some shading (let us say the light comes from the upper right corner. this would give a more 3D feel to it.

Thanks for all your comments. I appreciate it.

@ TimothyC: I'm not really good at drawing perspectively and I'm not a ship expert so the front view is maybe a bit off but the rest should give a good impression of the design.
A ha! I get it now. The second line down on the hull, I would make that less dark, and I would at the very least reduce the shading under it dramatically. Right now it looks like you've got an overhang there instead of the transition from vertical to turned it.

That's indeed very impressive work, proper template and fonts not to mention this ship. You sir have a very, very good start.

I'm loving the multitude of views of the ship. I don't think I've ever seen a bow on view in shipbucket before

Fantastic work, man. I love the multiple views of the ship, it really helps to understand the whole concept.

You're hired! ;)

This is superb. I didn't even notice the bow and stern views until Syzmo mentioned it.

Great work.

we have had a couple... mainly "BB" vessels. And I have done some, but just dropped it.

Thank you guys. The all-around-view really was a lot of work to draw.

@ Syzmo: I guess there are not many people that draw front views because it's not really part of the SB-Style and maybe even more because it is a hell of work, especially if you change some details on the drawing you have to change them on all other sides too and then you'll also discover that things working in a sideview don't work in a front or top view at all.

@ heuhen: I won't do any shading for two reasons one is that I'm pretty bad at it, second is mentioned above. Could you also explain a bit more about the hull changes you suggest?

@ TimothyC: You mean more like this.
