Le Grand Navire Cuirasse Napoleon Bonaparte

The Great Battleship Napoleon Bonaparte

My idea for a follow up design of France's last Battleship Design the Alsace.
This ship featuring 4x3 420mm (16.5 inch) and 2x3 152mm (6 inch) as main Anti shipping guns. AA Armaments consist of 10x2 100mm (4inch) Heavy AA and 18x2 37mm Light AA Guns

Used Tools: Paint Tool SAI

So this is my very first Ship Line Drawing which I've created purely as a drawing and not by editing an existing one.

Maybe I consider adding some base colours to it.

Damn You DA Why not you let me put Characters like á é ó ú and so on in the title????
