    Hi everyone glad to be here :)

    My name is Paul and i have a little hobby drawing profile pictures of superyachts. I travel a lot of work and whilst waiting around airports for my generally delayed flights i use my IPad to draw boats.

    Anyway i thought i would post a couple for you to see. I do requests, so if you want to a specific boat doing let me know. All i normally need is a nice side photo of the yacht.

    I hope you like them

    Paul

    Nice work Paul! You're in good company. This forum is home to Lars Modin and Mike Kajan. BTW, I reduced the size of your files for our viewers on satcom.

    Welcome to YF!

    Really nice profiles Paul! We have a few designers here too so you would fit in pretty nicely. I'm impressed... keep designing! Let's see one of the "ANNA".

    Well I am back again.... Could't resist in doing this one. Looks more like a warship than a yacht but still looks great :) Its the one and only Skat. I have one more just about complete then its up for a new one. If you have a boat you want me to draw let me know I do requests :) Thanks for looking.

    Good job... remember the image size for posting is 800 X 640. You are currently posting at 1200 X 400.

    You are 1 of over 56,000 members here on YF. Imagine if we allowed everyone to post their photos at 1200p? #bandwidth. We kept it down to that size years ago when internet wasn't quite as fast as it is today to help with upload speeds etc.

    Paul,

    We have a LOT of captains and owners on SatCom. We try to be respectful of bandwidth consumption.

    With the changes in the satcom structure in recent years, it might be time to rethink the limit with the newer pricing and speed structures.

    Hi, Charlton, and welcome to YachtForums. Paul Donaghy hasn't logged onto YF since August 7, 2019, so, you might not hear from him. If you want to track him down, try googling "paul donaghy superyacht aviation consultant."
