Avro CF-105 Arrow

[gray]

Considered to be one of Canada's best aircraft. Developed and flown in the 50's. Plane is 100% vector, background mix of vector and raster.

Woah, absolutely fantastic. How do you determine the shadows?

The fighter jocks get all the glory.
Ever do bombers like the B-52, especially the G model?

[Rik]

Awesome, as always.

Love that plane.

Still the Master. Fantastic Grahm

[gwpriester]

Wow and wow!

I wonder if your image would be more dramatic if you dropped the land mass lower in the image?

[Ron Duke]

Again, masterfully done Gray.

A stomper of a drawing Graham

iagman, thanks. ("How do you determine the shadows?") I do all these plane illustrations by creating a simple 3D wireframe to twist and turn to the angle I want. I can then also get the main shadows for direction, time of day and month. It gives me the basic outline for the subject which is difficult and time consuming to do by hand. Another method is descriptive geometry or plastic models but I like the 3D wireframes. It allows you to draw whatever subject you want.
Thanks Rik, Paul. Larry, Ron.
Gary thanks. Good suggestion, I'll have to play around with moving it.
