my aircraft drawings

**frederico** · #1 12-04-2015, 06:13 PM

i actually been contemplating this for a while. i decided to dedicate a little more practice in drawing military aircraft. drawing aircraft is something i always wanted to get better at but found difficult to actually developing a good technique to get it done. i'm planning to correct that.
lets start off with my first dedicated drawing of one of my favorite older generation aircraft.
f-8 crusader. the quality is sorta jank, but i'm planning to uploading another version in better quality.

next up would most likely be a p-40b

Nice drawing.

What is the medium? Pencil maybe?

And what size is it?

thanks john. them french F-8E really now how to please an eye

as for you swampfox, yep. i used a single .7 lead pencil for it. believe it or not, i drew this during school in first block...... we had a substitute.

it's drawn on ordinary copying paper. when at home, i have made the curious decision to color the tires with a black marker.

It takes lots of work and lots of experimenting to find what style you like........ for me it was a version of pen and ink, and of course the discovery of InkScape that allowed me to expand it even more.........

Keep trying different techniques and styles and please post more when finished........even if you don't like it, it is good to get other opinions and suggestions........even if you don't use them

Don't we all know what that's like

Whenever I had a sub I made those little sticky-note movies with stick figures, at least you appear to be doing something more productive

Very good drawing. Looked like an aged photo at first glance.
