The Tom M. Girdler

c.1980, age 13
Pen & crayon .

After drawing full freighter profiles for many years, I began to draw close-ups of the bows (and occassionally sterns) of freighters which allowed me to include much more detail. This is Republic Steel's Tom M. Girdler, which was scrapped at the end of 1980.
