TsAGI A-12 autogyro

What do you think?

Welcome to the forum.

The highlights on the fuselage and engine cowling look as though they should be dropped down a bit as it looks rather flat on the sides at the moment and possibly expand the highlights down on the wheel covers as well. Good start though and different.

Can you post a bit larger? Looks like a great start but you are relying too heavily on linework to define shapes I think. Hard to tell at this size. A most unusual subject that I have been fascinated with for quite some time. Welcome to Simmers....and please do post more of your work!

Is this the first Autogyro at Simmers?

I like it! But I think you can make some improvements. I'll have to wait until I get home though...

Alright, where did I leave off...
Inkworm is right, you can round out the fuselage more. The other part that will make your profile really come to life is more selective and subtle line work. Those lines tend to flatten the dimensional qualities. There are some spots, like the fabric areas and some other small details that are really highlights and shadows, not dark lines or outlined shapes. With some subtle shading and selective partial or complete removal of some of the lines your Autogyro will look 100% better.

It is a interesting and great subject though!!!

Thank you for the comments!

I've made this profile about year ago for the web and now can't found the original file

But I use your advises for future works!

What ever I'm designing, its either vector or very big, much easier to size down than up.
