Re: Mustang Away

Lyle, I meant to ask this before when I posted the first time and then I got side tracked... ha ha ha

I was going to ask, wouldn't there be light colored and blurred blades to depict the blades spinning and not just shadowing the blades as you have?
I mean, I thought this as I look at my fan, that is on... to cool this room.

Just asking.... see ya

Blessings. IRma

Re: Mustang Away

THAT, my dear Irma, is the eternal question which is hotly debated amongst every aviation artist which has drawn the breath of life (not me though).

Some say only the prop arc should be depicted in a light whispy blur.
Others say it should be drawn the way I did here. Still another group says it should be a combination of both and to only make the arcs light colored as a means of representing light or reflections.

Personally...I'm a pretty big picture sort of person. I don't try and "build the watch" so-to-speak. I just read what time it is!

You have a vaild point. I just went with "Can't please everyone" version and hope the Aviation Art Pro's don't beat me up too badly.

Re: Mustang Away

Wow!

That is simply awesome!

Love everything about this. That really feels like airplane metal, all the way.
Sensational.

I've been thinking of drawing a Japanese Zero myself lately. This just gives me the taste for it more!

Hey there *twin*.... I mean ~ *Lyle* ha ha ha
it doesn't upset me that you haven't done more blades in this. Just my inquiry for my own thoughts.
Then with reading what we have posted back/forth about it and thinking about it, the faster a motor is going, the faster the blades would be going, therefore, fuller the view would look as if the space was constantly full.
So the slower the motor, the less they would be moving, and less shown.
Would that be right, then?
BUT!!! ALSO.... since it is YOURs.... you can do what you like. You could even make them look like a zebra, if you wanted!! ha ha ha

Thanks for the fun and laughter *brother pencil*. Love it.

ha ha ha I must admit... the first time I read that ~ "art posse" I thought it said *art pose*.... and I thought, what the heck!!! More *art* terms I don't know. That was reading it last night.
Today *EYE* see the second *s*.... so you see why I didn't work further on my drawing last night?!!!! ha ha ha

Ok, "Eye'll" move on here.... Bless you folks. IRma

Re: Mustang Away

Say, where do you get your fighter plane references?

Looking for some nice angle shots of different airplanes to work out some perspective, texture, lighting...

Re: Mustang Away

Yep, that's it Irma. Whatever works best for me is usually what I go with. As long as I'm having fun...it's all good!

Peirre: I have a whole lot of avation books that I reference now and then. Also web sites like airliners.net have nice shots. The cool thing is you can e-mail the photographer directly and ask permission. I usually send them a hi-res scan of the completed drawing so they can have prints made for themselves.
