1962, Mediterranean Sea, the American aircraft carrier USS Independence crosses an elegant sailing ship on its course and promptly asks through a light signal "who are you?". The answer was "Amerigo Vespucci training ship, Italian Navy" The reply of the American ship is still now engraved in the annals of the Italian Navy...they says "You're the most beautiful ship in the world"
About the draw: This draw seriously risked not seeing the light, even before it was inked...because while it was on my drawing stand, a gust of wind made it end up on the ground, where it was targeted by my cat. I managed to get it out of my cat's clutches just in time (albeit with some scars) and it seemed irreparably ruined. Then the brainstorm; the drawing refers to a historical fact, which occurred in an era with black and white still in the films and photos. So, instead of doing a colored draw (as it was originally supposed to be), I opted to "color" it only in black and white; and the wrinklings of the sheet would have given that touch of antique, maybe vintage...and I think that effect could have done quite well
Thank you very much ^^ It's always very nice to receive such beautiful comments. I know, my works sometimes don't receive a high number of likes and/or comments; but see, I don't publish these works only for likes. It is a personal hobby, which I like to share. Often I've also received very useful advices within this community, of which I've tried to make the best possible use. I also know that I'm not a furry artist, because for the most part I deal with landscapes and vehicles; I can't perfectly draw the characters (although lately a couple of attempts have been successful)...I'm self-taught but I can improve my style and technique ;)
