Description
This is a picture I did of an F-16 fighter pilot giving a thumbs up before takeoff. When it was done, I had put my own name as the pilot's name on the side of the jet. I would like to dedicate this picture to all the brave men and women who pilot fighters like this in the United States Armed Forces. I wish them the best of luck and that they may return home safely. This was done with a set of drawing pencils, but when it was scanned the scanner cropped the image and I added the date in the corner using Photoshop.Related content

The picture's neat, but I think you really should take your time on the decals (the text...) since they look too wobbly

Ah, I agree with you. Text isn't my strong point, but thank you for your advice.

Some lines could be a bit cleaner /straighter. Apart from that its pretty sweet.
The proportions and the detail are quite nice.

Yea it's pretty sweet, Mat. What kind of pencil did you use? I'd suggest using one of the 5B ones in the art room to make the shading a little more blendable, you know?

I used 6B for most of it, 8B for the darkest parts and an HB for the light spots. The pencils weren't very soft, (plus all pencil stuff isn't really my thing) so I guess that explains why I didn't blend it enough. Thanks!

lines could have been alittle more cleaner and smoother since its a metal jet (metal=shiney, smooth, strong hilight and shadow)
but other than that it looks nice! Are you going to hang it in the art room?

Yep, that's my contribution to the wall of fame for the future art students to remember me by. Thanks for helping me along the way with that one.
