Description
The loser of the Joint Strike Fighter Programme that occured in 2003 was Boeing's rather odd looking X-32 Joint Strike Fighter.My drawing depicts the X-32B, which was the Short Take-Off and Vertical Landing (STOVL) version of Boeing's demonstrator.
It's just a quick refresher back to pencil drawings. It's done in HB and 4B on 120GSM A3 Cartridge paper. I took a photo instead of scanning it, as my scanner can only scan A4. Unfortunately, the camera didn't do any justice to the drawing.
The little logo in the bottom right-hand corner of the drawing is an actual sticker of the Pratt and Whitney emblem.
Hope you like the drawing

In some other reality F-23s are flying beside F-32s . . .
I have to wonder if the program would be so far behind today if Boeing had won the contract.

Nice drawing there of this one I start to think it would had been wiser to chose this one, might have costed less to do than the super delayed F-35 :/

It's ugliness is actually the reason I like this thing so much Very unique looking plane. However the proposed production model looked a lot better

hahaha yeah, I can understand. It's not the most desirable plane to look at. I was unsure of where Boeing was going with it either

If the X-32 had looked like its mock-up [link] it probably would have beaten the F-35. I'm not sure how Boeing changed the design to something completely bizzare, seriously, this has to be the ugliest jet ever

I actually like this bird (well the A variant moreso). I think you did a superb job on this drawing. It's very realistic.

great job on the drawing, but I've got to agree with Wind-hover, Boeing's entrant was one Uuuugly bird! most people I know of compared it's appearance with a Pelican with it's moth held wide open. XD

like a pelican for the birds. Imagine how many times this thing will suffer from birdstrikes...
thanks for the comment

Such a beautiful drawing of such an ugly plane.
Glad the F-35 won.
Good job dude!

One of the ugliest aircraft I've ever seen, but interesting nonetheless.
Awesome detail, down to the rivets

That looks so awesome!

No wait, I saw one once! Coz the town where my grandparents live, we flew there once, and the airport doubles as an air force base xD (nice, eh?)
Yupyupyup.
