Well, at least the guy did something himself and without massacring someone else's nice drawings. Sadly, the bloke is still valiantly refusing to use proper template (and clean it well) and fonts. And even though I saw several worse drawings on this forum (though most of them in the "NationStates Gems"), making the ship without rudder or some other steering device is also quite daring idea (sarcasm mode off).

You are a champ champion sarcasm mode off

Compare the relative heights and sizes of what you're drawing or you tend to get massive bridges or hulls with no draught. Bare in mind a deck is generally between 17-21 pixels in height so make sure you have enough room in your hull for accommodation and machinery.
The sonar bulb that you depicted was really not very hydrodynamic and was full of pixel errors (double blacks etc) The solid sides on the bow are somewhat higher than would normally be seen, at least by my eye so they should be lowered accordingly (the green pixels in my illustration denote where the actual deck surface is)
Make sure your design has enough draught for the size of the vessel or it would/will suffer from a lack of stability and may well capsize.

To make curves you use one of the tools on the side menu.
