    Default Cunard Ship

    Saw this in a magazine and thought that the artwork was just magnificent.
    Then went to the Cunard web site for the picture.

    Decided to have a go at drawing it and I did start another thread because I knew I would have a bit of a problem with the linear fill (shading on the left part of the ship.

    http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthre...?50012-Shading

    Lots of Xperts posted and recommended things and I think if I was really going to recreate the shading, I would need to do it in three or four layers.

    But, I stuck with my initial challenge and did the linear fill in one go and worked to get it as good as I could.

    I'm, sure you will all applaud the original artist who did this for Cunard.

    Well, here is my effort at recreating it and the original picture is also attached.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    I agree wholeheartedly. It is a style of drawing and painting that I have always admired. Kudos
    If someone tried to make me dig my own grave I would say No.
    They're going to kill me anyway and I'd love to die the way I lived:
    Avoiding Manual Labour.
