This obviously isn't the picture you're looking for - and it's an engraving, not a drawing - but your description makes me think of Gustave Dore's illustrations to Coleridge's *The Rime of the Ancient Mariner*.
They're very distinctive. If the style looks right to you, you could try searching out the rest of the set.

There's also a set by Mervyn Peake, but I don't think any of his resemble your recollection.
