Polly Woodside by Elaine (jaguarish)

Polly Woodside is a "tall ship" preserved at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre in Melbourne, Australia, and forming the central feature of the South Wharf precinct.

She is a Belfast-built, three-masted, iron-hulled barque. The ship was originally built in Belfast by William J. Woodside and was launched in 1885.  For more history see: http://www.pwva.org.au/history.php

This is just a continuous line sketch of the upper half of this ship done while waiting to meet someone.

    1. Thanks Donna, wish I'd had time to do more of the ship -- there were lines EVERYWHERE!

  3. I love that you did a continuous line sketch. That must have been so hard. I'd get lost in the lines.

  4. What a wonderful idea to do in as a one liner. We often see the tall ships in SF so I will try to remember to capture one this way next time. Thanks for the idea. I really like how this looks!
