Welcome to my website and a look into my hobby of drawing aeroplanes.
_There is no right or wrong way of approaching aviation art as every artist has their own methods and techniques of achieving an end result
My artistic training is based in Architecture so I would consider myself more a technical illustrator than a conventional painting artist and consequently the majority of my art work is in pen and ink, hence the title of this web site. These range from scale drawings that have been published over the years in various aircraft modelling magazines to highly complex picture drawings using cross hatching to depict colour schemes, camouflage and markings.. Although cross hatching has been around since man first started sketching, I use technical drawing pens and with the aid of a parallel and motion attached to a drawing board, draw straight lines less than a hairs width apart at a variety of angles laid on top of each other and then use soft and hard erasers to achieve the desired tonal effects. I do occasionally dabble in colour and hope to expand on that in the future.
With the possibility of early retirement in the middle of 2012 and the prospect of a bit of spare time on my hands, I thought it prudent to dig out my scribbling sticks again and bring my self back up to speed as over the last few years I''ve neglected the drawing side of things as I've concentrated more on digital photography
