I downloaded a computer drawing software last week, and tried it out for the first time today. I'm actually happy with the results, especially since I had no clue what I was doing, and likely won't remember how to do it next time.

So I chose to draw this one, because I play an online aerial combat game called War Thunder every once in a while. Pilots in WWII always had some sort of "pinup" or "mascot" for their planes, often times their girlfriends or a fictional character. So, I decided to create my own character for my player logo, and hopefully with some practice, an actual nose art decal for my plane. The Character is not based off of any real person, just something that popped into my head. Anyways, the uniform she's wearing is part of the also fictional, Confederate States Air Force, because if you know me, you know that I am a Confederate at heart.

So don't judge, this is the first time at this for me. I'll try to do better next time, and heck, maybe a Civil War camp scene is in order!

Pencil drawing is more my thing. Below are two recent ones.

gghjhg.jpg

B-26 Marauder, USAF. This particular plane is a conglomerate of both a real B-26, and one that has markings that are original. The weird puffy things are supposed to be flak bursts, but that can be debated as they look bad to my tastes.


Panzer crew.jpg

German Panzer crewman. I don't know why, but every time I draw a male persons face, no matter how old he's supposed to be, I always end up drawing them with a teenage face. And even though I had ZERO intention of this, the soldier looks almost exactly like me. I'm not sure whether to trash it or keep it for laughs, because I don't want to be thought of as a nazi.
