Airship - I am drawing an airship

So I've really been into drawing airships the last few days.

Anyway, I am doing a drawing of a little airship. Well, it's actually pretty big, but the drawing is not that big.

Either way, here is a little work in progress thread. I'll post more as I finish it.

First up here is the piece with the background texture and a bit of the ship in progress. Being built as it were! Very Happy

I'm doing it in a really loose style, not worried about straight lines, trying to keep it very organic.

More details!

And even more... I am taking a break to relax and eat some food. Let me know what you think!

We are cooking now, the airship is getting pretty close to being finished now, just need to add a bit more.

Woo, the airship is pretty much done I am thinking. Perhaps I'll change a few small details as I look at it more. But the next update will be the full completed piece!

A bit of ye olde background filled in. Looks like a interesting place to visit so far I think.

Hmm, bit more background yea?

Add in the rest of the background, another airship off in the distance and we are all done.

I'll post up a few close up shots showing all the detail, a few other jules verne-esque/steampunk type sketches, plus a desktop wallpaper in a bit as well.

I thought that they were angels
but to my surprise
they climbed aboard their starship
and headed for the skies and they sang...
