The thin lines on the Airplane are a bit wonky, but the main thing that bothers me is the bottom of the airplane. It looks entirely flat.. and the tail wing looks like a seal’s flipper or the wing/fin on a stingray perhaps. It’s all pretty dull and wonky on the bottom.
What’s it supposed to be? The P-51 Mustang or a Spitfire or what?
Anyway, if you look at the tail wings of the planes of the era
you see that they are around or above the middle of the body, whereas on yours the wing is at the absolute bottom and joins the rest of the bottom of the plane in being completely flat and probably hell to fly 😀
The rest look good, although I’d be VERY interested in seeing the bubbles in a few years time.. that amount of white scares me.
I’m not an aircraft engineer but the kid that wanted the plane tattooed on him brought me a photo. Blame any design flaws on the Russians. It is a Polikarpov I-16.
PS: There is almost no pure white in the bubbles. Just the white outline around the outside. The blue I use when blended right tricks the eye into seeing large areas of white in the tattoo. Same thing with the eye. Not much pure white in that either.
Well, the design flaw doesn’t lie with the Russians.. their tail wings are just below the center of the body, with the entire bottom of the plane concaved. Any and all such definition is lost in your drawing, aside from the wing itself looking… limp.
So, that’s just skin color in the middle of the bubbles, that looks like it’s white? Interesting.
Ancient Chinese secret!!!
I can see what you’re saying about the rear wings. I can address that when he books a second sitting. I’m going to be doing a bunch of work on him. I traced the lines of the plane so if the shapes work in the photo I can make them work in the tattoo. I think it just needs some tweaking with the shading.
