You don't taked and adapted a drawing of the Net for your drawing ?

Thanks and greetings.

I think I've seen this somewhere before.

I think i know what you're thinking, and, if i am, i saw that one too. i based mine off a bunch of different images i could find.

Buch of this one ?

So are you saying that you actuallly drew this yourself.Or are you saying that you intend to resize this to the proper dimensions and trace it to produce a SB drawing?

[Portsmouth Bill]

Well, it does not appear to be (literally) a resized version of Andrew Arthurs original; but then his version does look like what you took to work from, and the problem there is that it maybe bears too close a comparison, such as the colouring (which is non Shipbucket). But then, as you are not submitting it as a Shipbucket drawing you're quite entitled to do so here. Maybe consider doing a Shipbucket drawing of this iconic warship?

(As an aside, a lot of these larger scale drawings are well known and no doubt in most our personal data bases. I personally find that the challenge is not to use them as then we can't help but be heavily influenced by the existing drawing.)

I disagree Portsmouth Bill, check first lifeboat it was resized. All ship has been resized and this is 98% work of Andrew not Barham.

[Portsmouth Bill]

Yes, on second examination I would agree with you (Rhade); that does look like a resize without any attempt to tidy it up. So (if so) we can leave this one until we get a definate Shipbucket version.

Now, hang on, yes, Andrew's ship was a big inspiration, and i did use the colors from his ship. but i did not copy it pixel for pixel. it's the same ship so of course they'd look similar. there are detail differences, however. and what makes you think the front lifeboat is re-sized? look at some of my other stuff, i've hardly got a steady hand.
