MY TITANIC ARTWORK

[Maureen Zottoli]

Greg you are really good. What medium are you using in the originals? How long have you been sketching ships? Not everyone can do them.

Maureen.

Maureen, the first one is simple black pen, while the others are using usually a 4B Pencil in order to produce good shading effects.
(The drawings on the 'Other Ships and Shipwrecks' under the thread 'My Liner Artwork' are completed using an everyday ballpoint pen.
These drawings were completed a while ago as I used to draw them regularly.
Recently I have not drawn too many and indeed last week I started to work on newer ones.
However, I seem to have lost my knack at it, so I will need to get back into practice again and post some more for you.

Greg,
Your drawings are great! I love sketching in ballpoint too, when I have the time and inclination. I drew all the time when I was a kid and got banned from the library for drawing in the margins of all the books I borrowed. I even used to draw on the backs of all my grandmother's photos. I've lost the knack too but am hoping to get back into it soon. I did start a sketch pad of pencil portraits of the Titanic's passengers, so I think I may carry on with that. Sometimes we need a nudge from someone like yourself to get off our ass!

Cheers,

Boz

I''ve got drawing pads, sketch pads and even painting of Titanic and other liners in the loft.
I shall haul them down and see if i can scan the credible ones!

Thanks. My favorite medium to work with is pencil. One thing that you can try out is using varying lead softness to get a special affect. Or even using sepia pencils makes a nice affect.

Thanks for sharing.
Maureen.

I am by no means an artist, but here are some things I've dabbled in, most of which is from the 80s and early 90s.
The Edmund Fitzgerald piece is one I did last year.

Looks like you have to copy and paste the entire URL into the address bar. I can't seem to get the entire URL to enable a link. It cuts off at the apostrophe, I notice - and I can't get it to not do it.

Looks like you may just have to manually type the whole link in. But of a PITA, but if it's the only way that works, you'll have to go with it.

Cordially,

Greg your drawings are amazing! Keep it up!

 

[Sahand Miraminy]

Hey,
Very nice drawings! You have big competition Ken! Hope to be as good as you one day!

 

[Kelly Beth Vogelsong]

These drawings are so great! What was used to draw the picture when the bridge is about to go under? It's extremely realistic.

General rule for dealing with punctuation within URLs: they have to be "escaped" by writing a percent sign, followed by the decimal value of the character code, as:

You can look up the codes by running the charmap program.
