With my brothers sons birthday coming i was going to buy him a Hunter after his name. Richard said he prefer a drawing of his favorite aircraft, the B17 .
I thought a good idea for a topic - please add to it.

I guess a better idea is to move away from ball point pen , make a mistake can't take it out!

Man that is sweeeet! steady hand Ian
Ill add some of mine in later, gota get my crapy scaner working first.

You drew that!?
Nice work mate!

I've got some drawings and stuff of mine in a book somewhere, but compared to that...

Cheers
Anthony

Cheers guys .. be nice to see your pieces , even photo your paintings

Cool, I've always loved aviation art. However can't do it myself. Come to think of it, the last thing I drew was an aircraft:



Ok, I've just designed a calendar with pics from a guy who combines aircraft model photos with real backgrounds, and I needed a sketch to remind me which way to place the cover into the booklet-maker to get it up the right way when I print the calendar:) The star thing is in fact a Mustang on the calendar...

Rob Your better than that ... I dug out a fav'e of yours , trying out CorelDraw 7 ...1996/97 ... guess this little green bug was to hang around and bite

this is were pen was dropped for pc

Uncorked the bottle, here comes the genie...
All those closet doodlers come out now

You never know when to stop, should it be here:

or here?

And should you now colour it in? Nahh do another one another time

Charl , Briiliant the cold war .. now this is really going to be a stir a Hornets nest

MOSSIE !

wow guys nice drawings - hey Ian your drawings look like theycould be used for the Commando comic book series - maybe you could go into the professional aviaion art business?

I love doodling and sketching aircraft and have a few sketches lying around from many years ago (dont have much time nowadays) but my scanner is broke. They arent as good as those anyway.

The Mistakes ...

rushed and early

Far out Ian, you certainly are a man of talent!

I've always admired aviation art. When I was younger, I remember walking past a village shop in England called 'Spitfire Art', where a guy used to have all his warbird paintings stuck up in the window. The website links don't seem to work, but if you google search for artwork by 'Trevor Lay', you might find some stunning scans.

In the latest 'Aviation News' (from memory...) there's a painting done at Wanaka -- absolutely brilliant. Apparently the guy started out doing landscapes, so the background is stunning (suits me) but he specialises in aircraft.

Wow guys really nice ,alot of effort in all of them ,nice one Ian i havent really picked up a pencil to do drawings like this in many of years and i think i would be out of touch with one now ,i only really do drawings now to work out bits of designs that im working on but more like a blueprint and in a 3dmodelling way
