I'm a technician too. Nothing beats Illustrator. Tough to learn, but once you do....lookout world!!!

just something for inspiration...else the drawing is excellent

this is my first version of the main gear of the He162...

That's nice!
You've got the tyre bulge thing going, what am I doing wrong?

[Otterkins2]

Looks great Santos! Only comment I have is that the strut slopes away from you at the top, so instead of flat joints they should have a slight curve to them. If you look at my drawings again you'll see what I mean. Great job on the tire! The photos I have don't show the ribbing and they more or less look bald.

I begun to work on the nese gear...

about the main gear is not finish yet... I have to work on it and put more detail take from some photos...

[Otterkins2]

Looks good so far Santos. I'll reserve comments until you are complete. I hate saying anything when it's a work in progress. Give Grubby a break and tell him how you did the image of a weight bearing tire. I don't do this in my line drawings prefering to leave that up to the people who DO know how to colour their work.
