Flying High

Wanted to do something just a bit outside my comfort zone last night.  This is what I came up with.  It is a little tight, but I'll probably have another go at it and see if I can't loosen it up a bit.

Im happy with the sky, and happy with the mottling of the green on the plane, but somehow I just don't think it comes together quite right.

I don't quite know, but I don't think its too bad.  Let me know what you think.

Taking Flight

We have had a bit of turnover at work.  We got a new ASC and she is into airplanes.  I thought it would be a good exercise to paint one.  This is a quick sketch of a plane that she likes.  Its called the Boomerang, and apparently is a prototype made by Burt Rutan.  I know its just all blue around the plane.  It's kind of like giving up on the background.  And I know that given the angle, you should be seeing ground under the plane instead of all sky.

Well, it's just a quick painting I did.  I didn't plan on spending a whole lot of time paint this, and therefore just wanted to block in some background.

Let me say one other thing.  I got some new software for my scanner.  Since I started using it, the pictures I have put up here have been terrible.  I don't know if it is all the scanners fault, or if it is something else, but when I post to blogger the color of the pictures goes all wonky.  If I look at them locally on my machine, they look great.  I'm going to get to the bottom of it, so please be patient while I work it out.  Thank you.
