Aviation Illustration

[MarkH]

Hi Everyone
Found this forum yesterday since I'm an airplane nut thought it would be interesting to stick around take part.
My day job is a storyboard illustrator for ad agencies, but I've enjoyed drawing aircraft all my life. Right now I do it for fun (ie- not paid ). Here's a couple that I've done in the last year (digital - Corel Painter). I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Cheers,

Nice stuff, Mark. I really like the sense of motion you gave on the Thunderbolt one.

Nice stuff, Mark. I really like the sense of motion you gave on the Thunderbolt one.

I agree. My first impression of that picture was "That T-Bolt is haulin' ash!!" Very, very nice work Mark. I'm jealous as all get out!!!!

Thanks Guys
Here's some more Dambusters for you DML

Nice one! Any more?

Being (very!) picky (if I may make so bold!) but the valorous Hopgood (who, by the way, should have also been awarded a [posthumous] VC) was, I understand, further 'down stream' when the wing came off. However, I fully appreciate the artistic need to get the dam as the background focus to the picture. (Not picking a fight at all – how could I? I've no artistic talent whatsoever!)

Hallo MarkH,

It is a great stuff.I haven't seen a such wonderful graphic for a long time. Congrats mate and welcome there.Greetings from Poland.

Thanks again folks. I'd love to keep doing these quick things, as the fully rendered colour stuff eats up time that I don't have (I have an unfinished Harvard illustration that I haven't touched in weeks).
To be honest it's alot more fun as well.
DML, you're probably right. Even though I have an interest in planes I'm sure there are many of you here that have a better grasp of the historical details than I do. That's another advantage of doing this quick stuff. It's easier to change too there's not as much sweat invested in it.
