I don't think I ever treated you as if you didn't know anything. In fact, when the staff commented that there was no standard method for drawing bridge windows, I immediately revised my initial claim and stated only my opinion as to how it should have been done, in effect leaving you to your own devices to complete the bridge windows to your own liking. See below:
If the staff's official position is that the drawing of the bridge windows is left up to you, then I have no right to say anything contrary to that. I was under the impression that we had an established way of drawing bridge windows regardless of what they looked like in real life.
My drawing was a suggestion of how I would have done it (based on how MConrads and MihoshiK did it back in the day). In my opinion, it gives the drawing a neat and tidy look that just placing grey pixels over blue does not.
Welcome to Shipbucket...Instead of practically ordering me to change something, not knowing why a particular detail is drawn in a certain way, you might have extended me the benefit if doubt, asking why i pick such and such solution. But no, instead you barged on like a rhino in a China store. That's what upset me.
I am not planning on drawing this ship as you have already done it!And Ian, you can have your shot at thus class, however, expect a tit-for-tat criticism of it . I have studied this class for some twenty years. I feel that i should know it fairly well.
