Flying Tiger Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 Flyi g Tiger, EXCEPTIONAL pencil sketches. Is that self portrait in the cockpit Thanks HOLMES....and no, that's not my self portrait...I wish it was me though...;). I was a kid when this photo was taken back in the early 60s that I used as ref for the sketch... That was Colonel Pham Long Suu, the first commander of the 516th FS, one of the first FS in the VNAF of early days of the war. I did this sketch as a tribute to him when he passed away couple of years ago... Cheers FT. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It must have been quite an experience for you to see what was going on at that time. It is a very good portrait and a nice tribute to the pilot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks and yes HOLMES, even I was very young and lived with the war was happening around....but I remember so clearly what was going on and nothing beats the real things, seeing the fighters and all other types of plane flew over our house circling for landing or taking off was just awesome...

Big Daddy Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Love it, FT! Do you use a stylus with Procreate? I have been looking at them and wondering if I should spring for one. Again, you do wonderful work. Thanks for posting. Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Again, you do wonderful work. Thanks for posting. Don Hi Don, sorry I haven't been to the forum for a while....and yes, I am using a stylus with Procreate coz I think it's more natural to draw with a pen instead of a finger and I am going to get the new stylus with touch sensitive and it's more like a pen with pointed tip: http://hex3.co/products/jaja I am using a few apps on my ipad2 but Procreate is one of the best. Other apps such as SketchBook Pro, Brushes, Artstudio are good too. Thanks Don. Cheers FT Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flying Tiger Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 Thank you Gents and here are couple of recent sketches I've done for idea of paintings I wanna do next.... "Loosing first wingman" was inspired by real story from a book called "A Vietnamese fighter pilot in an American war" by Major Tran Ba Hoi, describing how he lost his first wingman in a bombing mission at a ordnance and hardware station of the communist deep in the jungle in early 60s. Another Kingbee H-34 sketch inspired from real story, On Christmas Day, 1968, our team was on a small hilltop, surrounded by NVA troops who torched the vegetation around the hill and were attempting to burn us off the hilltop. At the last moment, as our entire team was choking on smoke and ashes, then-Capt. Nguyen van Tuong piloted his H-34 down a steep mountainside to our LZ. His rotorwash pushed back the flames until our team boarded the chopper. As he lifted-off, flames consumed the area we had vacated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skyraider3D Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Both sketches are excellent. The Trojan is a favourite of mine. I always considered it a "mini Skyraider" until I saw one in person and realised it's not so "mini" at all!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
