F-4J, VF-33 ball point pen sketch


Recommended Posts

Steve, that's something else :whistle:

Thanks for letting us see it. In a way I'm glad you left it at that point, it gives the forward fuselage considerable impact. The fact you used a ball-point pen only serves to increase my respect for you.

Cheers man.

For Col.

Its not all digital here, either. Digital illustration is more conducive to making prints

For me, anyway.

I was sitting outside of the AQ shop and was trying to get this down as the Sun was

going down. The Sun won.

no mate i think you won it looks smashing mate :whistle:

wow realy realy good

ps did you had some more spare time with a ball pen and a piece of paper? (IOW have some more of those?)

Fredrick,

I did quite a few sketches back then, but only saved a few.

Col., I favored the ballpoint pen as my drawing tool of choice for many years.

I still do like it for control of tonal variations in formal drawings.

Sometimes you have to use what's available, too.

On my last cruise ('82-'83) on the America all I had available for sketching

was a grease pencil and lined paper. I have 6 of these pictures framed up on the wall,

here, at present.

(don't get me wrong, though, I had my Airbrush, Watercolors, Oils, brushes & 2 Canvas with me,

too, and did use them).
