With no sketch design to work with and the only difference is radar and size that is all can I do. Look my Lion or Yamato drawings many variants only differ in dimensions

oh ok thank you. Are you planning on doing any older ships like ironclads or sailing ships? have you done any submarines?

No I will not do those while I like the sail ships aesthetically, they would be a pain in the ass to draw with all those rigging and sails. Not to mention never were sail ships are almost non existent. Ironclads too are very old. I prefer Ww2 and interbellum ships. I dislike submarines and there is not much to draw on them. I draw a few top viewsfor the Topsideminis game/company but they paid for them.

Patrol Torpedo boats are as their name says boats not warships. Also not every monitor are from the 1850's! Ever heard of HMS Roberts and Abercrombie of WW2?

I meant the USS Monitor from the 1860s the great great grandmother of all iron/steel hulled warships.

I draw never-were warships 98-99% the time, but maybe I draw some WW1 era Russian monitors in the future

That is a steep loading angle for a sea slug.
