Description
Something a little (or a lot) different from my usual fare! For the past couple of years, I've had the privilege of working with Penguin Books for Young Readers on their series of "Who Was?" books. These books are really great little illustrated biographies covering all manner of historical movers and shakers, from ancient times all the way up to modern day. The books have even been adapted into a hilarious new Netflix show for kids, appropriately titled "The Who Was? Show".
For the books that I work on, I do the illustrations in pen and ink, in a style akin to Golden Age illustrators like Charles Dana Gibson. This drawing will be in the upcoming "Who Were The Tuskegee Airmen?" and is of a German Messerschmitt Me-262 jet plane during World War II.
I've got a TON more of these kinds of drawings, so I guess I'll put the question out there: Would you guys like to see more of this work from me? Or would you rather I just stick to posting my painted works?

Great linework. It really emphasizes the speed of the Me.

One of the first jets ever made
too fast, impossible to reach for the RAF planes

They certainly had the need for speed!
