Hi all new guy around.

[Slammer]

Hi all, Slammer has been lurking here for a while, drooling over the eye-popping artwork here and feeling just that likkle tad intimidated by what I see.
So here is my inaugural post and my first offering.
I saw this on a trip to the brilliant air-museum in Brüssels and thought: "Hey! I can do this drawing thingy too" hope y'all like.

Hey Slammer,
Pretty nice! Was that done from a wide angle photo or did you do the forced perspective without a camera? Either way it makes an eye catching piece!

Hi and welcome!

Nice work, I like the stylization.

Nothing so elaborate, just a cheapy Samsung digital.
Here is the original.

It's a lot easier with a photo for sure That sort of forced perspective was big in illustration when I was in school and we were all trying to draw it from life, no photos. We though photos were cheating! HA! I would NEVER attempt to do that sort of thing now without a photo
I like it a lot Slammer

We though photos were cheating!

Tell me about it, but then the art teacher would one day explain about primary and secondary sources. Plus how did we manage without the interwebs?

Great stuff and reminds me a bit of Ian Bott's style, though yours is slightly tighter.

Welcome btw.

It makes sense in a way, the idea was that the artist decides the exaggerations. The camera makes those decisions for you. I was never very good at it.

Great stuff and reminds me a bit of Ian Bott's style

Bott is KILLER!!!! Feel lucky you're mentioned along with him Slammer

[Slammer]

I must admit that I had to google the guy (at this point Slammer's jaw dropped with a clang onto the table) Yup! Must admit I like the comparison

I'll tell Ian that next time I see him then BH
