Post subject: | Morning Mission (P-51 sketch) |
Did this last night while watching the Colts go 11-0. This is a small "refined thumbnail" of my upcoming Morning Mission, showing Kidd Hofer taxiing at Debden prior to takeoff. Photos and film taken at Debden show a lot of marshalling for takeoff and taxiing to and fro their dispersals on the grass. I wanted to show the "transition" as Hofer left the peri-track. The final canvas will be 18 x 24. I didn't measure the proportions before marking the borders of this little sketch ... the final 18 x 24 canvas will have a bit less expanse in the vertical. I mainly wanted to locate the horizontal borders here. After I finish the aircraft outline in detail, I'll do a larger pencil study, then it's on to the final canvas. First, though, I've got other projects nipping at my heels. Morning Mission 5.5 x 6.75. Pencil in Sketchbook ![]() |

Mike Much appreciated! I actually would frame this little sketch (a nice professional frame job would set it off very nicely), but I want to keep my sketchbook intact. Those books will be fun to look through years from now. I will be doing a larger, more detailed pencil study of this scene ... that one will be framed - or sold off first. Wade |
