i used to be pretty good at drawing side profiles of ships. when i vacationed along the coasts i would draw profiles of ships passing by, when i was landlocked i would just make up my own ships! however nowadays i'm not very good, and dont draw that often.

I love watercolor - this doesn't mean I know how to do it
Here are samples of my attempts at maritime art:

Hey Timmy, that's really not that hard - get a pencil, a piece of paper and give it a try.

Hey Roman, thanks for sharing, like wow, man!
As the immortal 20th century American philosopher, Jerry Reed said, "When you' hot, you' hot!" (Even though he was singing about an episode of throwing dice....)
So, does this mean we may have a sub-topic?

Nice work Roman.
As far as non Computer Art goes. Check out the work of Michael Taylor and Dan Jones. Mike's stuff can be seen on his website. Dan's used to grace the covers of PSM.

That's really good Timothy. Can you imagine the level you would reach after 25 years of practice?!

I really like the Yorktown and the planes. Did you do them from pictures or just from mental image?

Probably a combination of photo's and models. It's been a while.

Woaaw a great job Tim! You could earn a lot more money with that!
I tried such drawings and somehow I can match such scenarios and drawings in my visual mind, but never succeed on putting that on paper!
I do love to draw ships' side and top views etc. But never in good perspective.

Thanks, I prefer plan and profile myself. That is why I love CAD.
