    Default Grumman F4F-3

    This is my first shot at doing an Aircraft. Sorry for the missing pilot, Lt. Edward O'Hare, I'm still trying to figure out how to draw him. This is going to take awhile to figure out, I'm not good at people

    Your plane looks great! You could just add a simple silhouette in the cockpit for a pilot.

    Good job! Perhaps the pilot is flying over the Bermuda Triangle?

    I added a shadow for the pilot, and a shot of the wire frame. Please any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you all for your kind words of encouragement. Thanks to frances for the great clouds brush. I used the soft flat clouds to try and make the small islands

    Very nice drawing, some clouds are really realistic. To be more realistic, may be useful, but this is just my opinion, softening some hard edges of them, and, for a 3d look, I would add some shadows and lights, like I tried, on the grumman. Hoping not to bother you, this is just a suggestion, I attach my interpretation. lupen
