I think that is SO cool.

I love the yellowing effect you made. Is there a chance we can see an unyellowed version?

Also, Pappy's face seems angled a bit strangely, specifically on the left side.

Once again, nice job seeing this through from just a sketch!

Really nice job, Gray! :thumbsup2:/>

I got to meet Pappy back in 1986 at a small airshow in my hometown in California ...

He was a bit funny and cantankerous ...

Sorry about the iphone typo.

Thanks for taking a look exhausted. I'll have another look at the head tilt. Just the red yellow tones for this one.

Check Six, thanks for the kind words.

GreyGhost, appreciate the comments. I think Boyington dealt with a lot of demons in life, the main one being alcohol.

Back when I worked for McDonnell Douglas I got to be friends with the resident artist.

He used an overhead projector to do his early rough sketches before applying the airbrush.

Man; How technology has come along since the early '90s!

Thanks, crackerjazz.

Drawing in vector or digital painting is the same as traditional. Once you've set the composition it's chipped in stone, unless you start from the scratch again. It is easier to correct mistakes, though.
