Drawing in pencil is one of my favorite art mediums. To be good at it, you need to find yourself some good reference pictures. You also need to start small and simple, rather than trying to draw giant masterpieces immediately. I'm still wondering if the ship is as...
This part of the drawing is proving the most difficult. My intention is to create the impression of a spurt of foam in a stormy sea. I will have to look at more online images for reference.
