veering away to port

An excellent drawing of a minesweeper. You have the proportions and angles perfectly! It looks real. Thanks for posting it.

Thank you Chris, I was quite pleased with this one. It is about 24"x16" with a dark grey mount. I used various grades of pencil down to 6 or 7B, and quite a lot of blending with paper stubs. The sea was a good challenge to make it look like the ship was turning quite hard to port.
