Hello everybuddy in the forum!
This is my first attempt in shipbucket! Thanks the old guys for the invitation here!
I start with one of the most famous warships of Greek Royal Navy 1940 era , the VP ELLI , VP from the "Vassilkon Plion" (Royal Ship). The ship sunked after an italian sub attack on 15th of august 1940, with no war declaration and became tha symbol of the Greek Nation for the unfare war that was going to come! Enough with history...below there is the plan of the ship! I am waiting for any corrections!

well its a good start (and great choise for a ship)

there are few "basic" errors that almost everyone does in their first drawing.
- The port holes should be always (unless drawing teeny-tiny MTBs) four x four pixel size
- the funnel shade should only on one side. Also the pipes abreast the funnel should be done with bit exageration and in three pixel style (one black one sharing the funnel outer line)
- The hull should be completely dark grey, not just the bow
- try to avoid overlapsing black pixels in all cases (the mast, boat supporters, Torbedo tubes)
- the TT set looks rather archaid compared to the rest of the ship. the Dark grey used there makes perhaps bit too strong contrast

Otherwise nicely done and welcome to shipbucket

I would add:
- The searchlights should be facing starboard.
- The text should be Arial 14px for the title and 10px for the credits (10.5 and 7.5 text size in Paint)

Otherwise it's looking great. Welcome to ShipBucket!
