Actually, you can! Start simple with just a couple or a few sails. Lady Redondo got it right by starting with modern sailboats. As you get a feel for drawing these beasts, absolutely emulate existing drawings and ask questions. There's several of us who will be happy to help.Know ahead of time that they can take some time to draw, just like larger modern ships. Save a back-up or check-point drawing frequently. Don't be afraid to back away and come back later if you get stuck or burn out. Spend time on-line doing research, for any ship I always collect period hull and sail plans, period paintings, photos if they exist (2nd half of the 1800's). I look for comparable/similar ships so I can study rigging. LEARN what the different sails do and how all the rigging works as each line has a specific function. All in all-it's pretty much the same as with modern shipping and a lot of fun. Finding a drawing program with "Layering" capability also pays dividends. One can draw the basic shapes and apply the details on additional layers over top. One can hide layers that are visually in the way, and generally manage a drawing far better than with "Paint". The "Layers" also prevent existing finished work from getting trashed by the addition of finer details applied on top. Search for threads here at SB for suggestions. I just happen to use Corel, and Illustrator as I had and used them before joining. I found SB while looking for MS Paint tutorials and use it to fine-tune drawings to SB Standards. Happy drawing!

The hardest thing I find on the sailing ships is the detail required on the sponsor banners and finding the right way to scale it down. If you've found a project your really wanting to do, find everything you can on it and be prepared for lots of starting to draw, erasing some of it and redoing lots. There are plenty of people on here willing to help with an element your struggling with. |

Redondo,
Cool subject to draw! Where was she built (not far from me...)? CraigH I believe the Karluk was built in the Turner Yard at Benicia |

Stunning work! Addition of hull profiles is very educative. |

Excellent work CraigH, I really was looking forwards to those hull lines you mention and you do not disappoint! Heres the Windrush 14 from a few pages back in a template for upload, |

Great work Craig and Rodondo! Any chance we'll be seeing them in FD scale? |
