USS Trumpetfish

A drawing I did for my father for Christmas. He spent his time in the Navy on this submarine, The Trumpetfish SS-425. He told me stories about when the water was unusually calm, they could pop the hatch and drink coffee on the deck. Wish I could have shared that with him.

This is really nice. What did you use for the snow?

The snow is white gouache. I often use that on top of my final drawings for highlights on noses, blizzards, etc.
