My first profile

[Skunk]

This is my first profile, built from a profile line drawing found on airwar.ru.

Criticism and comments welcome:

Its very good but it looks like there is a chris-cross effect in the colours? Did you use a pencil filter on it? Also needs more shade underneath to give a good 3D effect, otherwise very good

[Skunk]

Yes there is a sort of criss-cross effect on it, its a little more visible on the other version I have of it, I in******ently gave my profile a "cartoonish" quality to it, so I tried to apply a filter that would make it as though it was printed on comic book paper. Here is the other version, with the different background:

I made some slight adjustments to it:

You know this is as bad as skinning once you have been bitten?
Be careful.

Actually like this type of profile. Very nice.

Listen to J...once bitten, you never come back!

nice work meybe you can use more shadow for make more 3d effect

[Skunk]

Yeah I noticed it was as bas as skinning. I started looking all over for blank line drawings of planes to do.

Actually I think this kind of thing can actually help me with skinning. Because here, I learned about lighting and shading, something which I only use sparingly in my skins.

About the shade though, I dont want to add too much, as the profile is already pretty dark. Maybe I should ad a filter to lighten it up some?

P.S
Sorry for my bad english

[Skunk]

Very cool thanks. I notice that even though it is there, its quite subtle. I also notice you got rid of some of the black lines, especially around the canopy, it does make it look a little nicer. I have to ask how you did that though?
