A few months back we posted the above hand-sketched drawing of a typical offshore scene of by Niall Farrell from Greystones, Ireland. Today, Niall has sent us some new drawings that he made since then.
Niall says that creating the sketches are a hobby and take him about 5 to 10 hours to complete.
“When I started out I drew them without a ruler and only on small bits of paper, but ever since my friend convinced me to share the first picture I sent in of the Maersk oil rig I have been using a ruler and getting obsessed with detail,” Niall tells us.
When asked about the inspiration behind drawings, Niall said:
“I usually don’t copy pictures, that’s why some of the ships in my pictures have no names on them, but the last one I did (second drawing from top) is a real ship. It’s called Elbtrader and it’s coming out of Dublin port with the Poolbeg lighthouse in the background and the port pilot boat Camac in the foreground.
