First drawings: How Shipbucket artists started out

On the shipbucket discord and forum, questions arise every now and then about how we all are so good in drawing ships and know so much. Some people are disheartened from trying to draw stuff themselves in the shipbucket format because they are put off by the required quality. Because of that, this page exists. On this page first drawings will be shown from long term shipbucket artists, showing each of them had a humble beginning and got better by working together with the shipbucket community.

Created in 2011, this drawing was supposed to contain everything I found cool back then. Tomcats, Goalkeepers, Azipods, hatch protected bow thrusters, a ski jump, Dutch radars and gas turbines. It does however lack some important stuff, like enough freeboard, enough internal space and enough common sense.
