japanese WW2 combat AIRCRAFT

Very nice. Much of it looks like a watercolor.

I actually thought it was neat that the mediums were “confused.”

Excellent drawning well done

I wasn’t aware of the differences in pencils til reading this. Well done.

Ismail, this kicks ass! Excellent work! You have inspired me to try these as well

Its KICK ASS.. means EXCELLENT! (Its slang)... if you want a thick ass you should see the photos in the Bum Appreciation Group! LOL

lovely work, well done

Stunning work! You are quite an artist with the pencils! Fantastic detail and the whole scene is pure magic in time. I love it!

I love this. It’s great how you’ve created a depth of field by having the plane crisp and everything else slightly soft. A technique I’ve never seen in pencil sketches before. It really gives a sense of flight. Well done.

This is very well done Ismail! I really like the softness in your blending of the background.

Brings back memories. I lived under Japanese occupation of Manila when I was a little boy. I remember seeing their warships overhead.

Really cool…........love airplanes…......my Father retired from the Air Force

Lovely! Great shading an composition. This drawing reminds me of an old war photograph :)

If you are talking about the other drawing, then I was referring to outlines and shadows around the nose, and also line around the lips. The nose has shadows on all sides, where is impossible in real life, at least not that extreme. Pay attention to the light source of the drawing, and keep shadows consistent. It looks like she is wearing lip liner (which I hate and never draw even if the person wears it). Try to limit your use of dark lines and use shading instead, where necessary :)

great drawing.

i like how you have the propeller in motion
love the contrast
and what you have done to the sky
how you have it fading out
and the detail

oh your pencil work is fine love the shading it looks so real i cant stand graphite it gets my hands dirty

Hi Ismail,
I’ve just realised that I read all the comments on this the other day but never added MY comments.
There is not much I can add except you show great promise in the use of pencil, you have got the propeller blur just right, good contrast between plane and background and I hope you get a decent scanner soon. My pencil drawing never copy well whether I use a scanner or camera!!
Cheers Neil

my first drawings as a kid were air planes like these-

fine drawing!
