If all the village idiots moved out of every village and built a village for themselves, you could be the village idiot.

From a distance it looks fantastic, up close it looks like a drawing. Need to use blending sticks and tissues I think, then it would be perfect.
:iconb3nny-j:
i know what u mean... but ive kind of adopted this style because i used to draw with blending the stokes years ago but i was spending way too long on one project know what i mean... thanks for the feedback though, your artwork is very good as well.

blending sticks??? whats that?
:iconraptorguy:
It takes patience, sometimes I spend months on my work - and it still doesn't turn out well. I see thats your style and I'm not gonna say its bad but I am saying that it doesn't look realistic.

Blending sticks are small wooden sticks that blend shading, so it doesnt look like it was drawn with a pencil. The tip basically collects the excess graphite leaving a smooth shading blend that looks realistic.

next time i am in the art shop ill get one to try. You are right, with quality you sacrifice time.
i know what you mean about realism but sometimes it doesnt have to be? point taken though, and i do like youre style...
cheers dude.

AWESOME!!! :clap::clap: Wow!! I love the details, the light and shading--I guess I never realized how angled the engine intakes are (it's very visible from this perspective); perfect "dip" of the wing, and keeping the rest of the craft aligned (gear, wings, tail), and I personally really like your pencil technique! I have some pen-and-ink pieces of different aircraft that have this sort of texturing, and have always liked the effect. :nod: Terrific piece--just out of curiosity: do you (or did you) fly this machine...?

Thanks FF! Its a beatiful shape and an amazing plane. You know what it comes from? Model building. Ive built so many kits of these its like i know every speck of them! Plus its my favourite plane and whether its a kit or an artwork it always just falls into place know what i mean?
I used to love drawing in pen and still do... i think i have automaticly tranferred the technique to pencil.

I can't imagine a drawing of such a complex machine just "falling into place!" It seems like it would take a tremendous amount of time and effort--which makes the piece all the more impressive! :nod: Gorgeous work!
