Its been a while..but here is my latest WIP, plus a short story on the background to the drawing

I play NHL 10 on the 360 online, we have a team that play with each other against human opponents.. a new guy joined about a month ago called Charlie. His in game player was called C. Nungesser. I thought I recognised the name and asked one of the others if he was a hockey player , as I knew the name from somewhere!
Well, the answer was a resounding no….when Charlie came back on I asked him { I had remembered by that time that Nungesser was a WW1 pilot } why he had named his player C Nungesser, was that after Charles Nungesser of WW1 fame? He said yes it was the WW1 pilot..and his reason…well it turns out it was his Great Uncle. Quite a character if I may add… http://www.theaerodrome.com/aces/france/nungesser.php

Anyways, the latest drawing is of Great Uncle Charlie and so far Im quite happy with the way its going…

😀 Blimey you have been busy ,well done.
The nearest i have got to anything aviation wise is this ,
well it’s a lose link to aviation 🙂 and also to painting LOL.Just started it so very much WIP.

I will do some more aircraft type paintings this year,just need 40 hours in a day

🙂 Excellent,i wouldn’t have a clue how to do faces,just can’t get to grips with them.
Any tips:D

Practice…and buy a good book , the main things to go wrong with faces are the proportions and main facial features. The size of the head as well can cause some problems, the human eye can recognise people they know from distance by the size and shape of the head / hair style.

Hello
Here is one of my latest works: an East German MiG-15bis

and this is my WIP. I need to redo the smaller of the Phantoms and the tail on the Herky bird is too big but it’s getting there slowly, I may even paint this one 😮

Being as this thread was originally started because of me and because it has been a while, I thought I best show my two latest creations.

This Skyraider picture is going into print in A3 size plus is also going to be available in a limited edition A1 mounted canvas for a very reasonable price of just under £100.00

If anyone is interested in a print of the Raider then please feel free to PM me

Good to see this thread still going strong.

Here’s my current work-in-progress…

🙂 Tis excellent as ever.I have been watching your progress with it on E Hangar.
Whats next in the pipeline? 🙂

Just finished my drawing of Charles Nungesser, 2b pencil on 300gsm smooth card….. 20″ x 17″

As someone with the drawing abilities of a dead goat, I just wanted to say there’s some fabulous looking artwork on this thread. Keep it up and keep sharing! 🙂

might have been missed so I’ll chuck this up

Nice work Mark, I didn’t realise you were talented in the art department aswel!

Not sure whether these would actually be considered as ‘art’ but I thought I’d post it anyway.

Attached are a couple of profiles I recently completed (out of the full set of 40 or so) for a forthcoming book on the Hornet. Although authored by Tony Buttler, the book has had major input from fellow forumite and Hornet wrangler dcollins103 too. 🙂

(Cheeky plug – the book is due to be published in early March I believe :p)
