Welcome 
Thanks for the welcome! 
I signed up here because someone here also does Shipbucket drawings and there are drawings from Shipbucket in this thread (good thing that they are credited, which some people forget to do).
Welcome to the forum. I do always credit original work (and images). I did modifications (correction/localization) of the ship drawings though. Shipbucket drawing and shading rules are relatively strict, so it's deliberate on my part not to use its intended scale.
Even before shipbucket became norm, I had been drawing ships on-and-off using different line drawing programs, but never really moved forward beyond ships of my own interest.
