Rainbow Trout is awesome... The very first fish I ever caught was a rainbow.....

My mouth is watering at that pic....

 

[evangilder]

I know what you mean. My mouth was watering just looking at the pic again too. Ah, a couple of more weeks! We do our Mammoth trip once a year now. We used to go several times a year, but after Jacob was born, it gets harder to just take off for the weekend.

Umm I go for some Trout right now.

I decided to try drawing and painting again as I enjoyed it many years ago. I want to paint a mural for my son's room, so I thought I would practice drawing just to get the feel for it again. Kinda rough, but what the heck. This is actually inspired by a photo that I took.

Wayhey, thats great! 8) Nice detail work, well done!

 

[Nonskimmer]

Hey, that's pretty good!

 

[lesofprimus]

Nice... I cant draw people for some odd reason......... Never seem to get it right...

They all look retarded.....

 

[evangilder]

I usually can't draw people either. I have either dug out a repressed piece of art or more likely, I just got lucky! Thanks guys, I will probably start doing more of these.

 

[plan_D]

That's great! We should start a drawin' thread since a lot of people seem to be good at drawin' on here. And I'm not one of those.

I played around with some C-46 ideas this morning. Here is the latest.

 

[plan_D]

Tasty. Oh yeah, and the pictures good too.

 

[evangilder]

Couple more, I am still drawing like crazy, but I don't want to get overwhelmingly boring. I tried my hand at drawing my boy from a picture, and a Bearcat. Not the greatest, but I'm just practicing at this point.

 

[plan_D]

You're feckin' good!

 

[Nonskimmer]

Well done.

 

[cheddar cheese]

Yeah great stuff evan! 8)

 

[evangilder]

Thanks guys. I didn't know it was in me. It gets easier and better as I go. I guess it's like anything else, the more you practice...

I did an SNJ last night that came out okay, but the pilot looks blotchy.

 

[evangilder]

One more for now. My SNJ drawing.

 

[cheddar cheese]

Looks bloody good to me, amazing! 8)

 

[lesofprimus]

If ur freehand drawing those and not copying anything, u got me beat by a mile Dude... Great stuff.....

 

[evangilder]

I wouldn't say that, Les, you do a great job as well. I cheat by using a protractor and a ruler at times to get the angles and measurements correct, but the rest is me. I draw best with a black and white photo too. Color has too much detail for me, so I convert it to black and white with Adobe first, then use the B W pic or pics to go by.
