Hi,

A few EF2000s / Typhoons I have made recently:

great base models ! I think you need to turn your attention to the shadings and highlights. Try and apply your highlights to a medium grey version of the aircraft. Keep the background in the same grey tone, then you can remove teh basemodel and thereby evaluate the shadings...If you have a look in my Tomcat thread, you can see how i do it.

I look forward to your next update !

Nice work, but check out italian "36-10" stencils. Should be slightly darker grey than the fuselage not white or clearer than it. Otherwise you have pictures I don't have, that's wrong ....

Show my artwork just to show a point of view about shadowing and lightening. Wish it may be of any help for you.

Hi,

I was reading the tutorials and also looking at Ugo's Typhoons. It seems I could use the cylinder shading judiciously (say, separately for the nose including the part over the engine intake, and the engine intake+fuselage).

But the question is, how do you guys use the cylinder shading? I have created a gradient fill which is close to that shown on the tutorial, but do you apply it as a vector region in a layer over the drawing? Or do you use the airbrush tool?

I use Paint Shop Pro XI for my drawings...

Rudnei

Mine is fully airbrushed with Corel Paint. No vectorial except for the linedrawing...

Hi Ugo,

I thought so, because it gets very hard to produce the desired effects with a vector layer.
