Well, I was feeling guilty recently about using the computer to draw everything, so I decided to try an illustration the old fashioned way. Most of my paints have long since dried up, but I found a bottle of ink and a quill pen and a magazine with a picture I liked, so I dusted off the cobwebs and had a go at it. Before inking in all the details, I scanned the outline of the art, which I later converted to vector art, colored, and turned into a shirt. Then I crosshatched away.

I never really was satisfied with the result, and my quill pen reminded me how much I miss the undo button by waiting until I was signing my name to barf ink all over the place. I had a lot of fun, though, so I did another sketch, and picked up some nice pens from the art supply store, and tried it again. Since I'll be working in the Tuskegee recognition tent tomorrow at GML, I decided to draw Roscoe Brown making the first Me262 kill for the 15th AF.

Anyway, here it is, for your amusement:

It's kinda hard watching someone scribble all over your artwork LOL...but it will make a nice keepsake, don't you think?

Well, as people periodically remind me, I have a lot of nerve :)
