Shipbucket

This is the fleet of Malta-Gozo fast ferry. what do you think? (Not final submission. Still working a bit on them)

There is a lot you can do on drawing quality and details, spend some time on that. It will take an drawing from just looking like a simple drawing, to a really good drawings. But you are getting there.

First off:
- Title on the template is wrong, there is no need to write the type of ship:

Malta, MS Gozo Express
(Drew_Air)

Malta, MS "San Pawl"
Surface effect Ship (write "Surface effect ship", since it is a little unique, compared to other ships. Surface effect ship is also known as SES-ship)
(Drew_Air)

- Drawing is placed to high on the template (the orange line on the template, is where the waterline is placed, not the keel)
- From my experience, those hull protection is better done in shades then using black outline on them. (bellow I have posted a two links to examples, from one of my older drawings, that shows how just using shading on a simple hull change things) :

now drawing individual:

MS Gozo Express, I would like to see:
- Some more shading work
- improvement on the underwater hull, it could have some shading and there looks like you missing a bit on the aft section of the hull: https://www.independent.com.mt/file.aspx?f=220638
- Main deck windows are all same size, only thing that change form and size, is the painting some also is covering some of the aft windows.
- Ventilation for the engine room, looks like a hatch. Look at how we do it on other ships in the forum and the archive.
- Main deck passenger doors, should be in same color as rest of the ship. Yellow is Yellow.
- life rafts, could do with some better detailing and shading.
- feel the size + deck height isn't 100% correct, looks a bit weird from how the illustration drawing looks. I use a deck height of 17 px, but, where all overhang and roof take 3 px of those 17 px. (17 px = 2,59 meter - 3px = 14px = 2,13 meter interior deck height)
- Control that hull marking is correct.
- Check for visual equipment
- Rails not after the shipbucket standard. (to say this way, I have had drawings that they refused to load up to the archive, due to railings!)

MS San Frangisk and MS SAN Pawl

Build in Norway by Brødrene Aa A/S. in 1990, These class of ships ranged from 30 meters up to 45+ meters with service speed from 35 to 50+ knots
Length: 36 meters
Beam 10 meters
Draft: 2.2 meters


- I think the drawing is to long
- Number of windows is incorrect, check: https://i2.wp.com/maltashipnews.com/wp- ... .jpg?ssl=1
- Stern is wrong, check https://maltashipphotos.com/wp-content/ ... 4.2009.jpg
- structure around the passenger door, is not 100% correct, check: https://maltashipphotos.com/wp-content/ ... 4.2009.jpg
- The fan opening in the front of the hull, is part of the SES hull. look at pictures, you are missing details. check: https://maltashipphotos.com/wp-content/ ... 4.2009.jpg
- Upper deck windows and bridge deck windows are wrong size, and there is no black color around them, just very light grey, check pictures.
- Railings on upper deck is wrong, check pictures.
- The gray color, should be lighter.
- The red color should be more red-orange in color.
- Some correction of the mast is needed
- some correction to the bridge roof is needed. check pictures


MS Your Faith and MS Your Wisdom
- Propeler shaft and rudder is totally wrong, catamaran have never a big rudder and a rudder that goes deeper then the propeller, due to the chance of climbing on the rudder at high speed. check picture:

- Engine room ventilation is missing.
- lots of things is missing, but that is due to drawing is not done.
- Underwater shading, notice how the hull is shaped, on one of the picture.
- Using information and pictures from "shipspotting" isn't always the best, since there is an chance of wrong information and picture (I have experienced that my self) so always double check with searching for the ship in google image.
- Control that the ship name is correct, since I find many pictures of "Majestic wisdom" and "Majestic Faith" and no picture of "Your Faith and Your Wisdom"!!
- Check that both ship have correct underwater color. Pictures shows "Majestic Wisdom" with black hull and "Majestic Faith" with red hull.

Alr i will try to get those fixed soon.
