More work for my animation major this year at LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore. I'm falling behind in my submission requirements and am short several necessary landscape sketches and studies, so I'm scrounging what I can from my sketchbook and gussying it up for presentation. This is one of those attempts.
These are older drawings by now, and the first attempt at drawing Louis's ship 'Celeste', let alone a cross section, and I am still sort of futzing around with the colors. It's garish and gold-gilded everywhere, that's all I know. Because Louis is a Baroque dandy like that. There are a hundred bajillion things wrong with this and oh my god I hate drawing ships why do pirates have to live on them so much but I don't have time to nitpick right now and she doesn't even appear in the final animation so there.
This is a great job. But I think the perspective on the back part of the ship is a little wierd. It looks a little bit forced/twisted to take that position. I guess you wanted to show certain details and twisted the ships back-end.
I wouldn't recommend using this for a reference. The perspective, angle, and proportions are all wrong. I'd recommend just searching for "Ship of the Line" on Google for a quick sweep.
also why isn't the captain's cabin and the stern aligned with the galley?
isn't that HRE's?
must be the shadows on the blue.
