Hope you don't mind me joining you in your playground. I came across simmerspaintshop a few days ago and as a lady very into aeroplanes I thought I'd give it a go. I've read alot of your posts and have gathered alot of very valuable tips from them. I've worked with photoshop before but only for photo editing not for drawing with from scratch. Here's my 1st project after a bit of trial and error.
If you think I will fit into this predominantly male environment I'd be happy to show my progress on this project.
Here's a jgp of my work so far. Please feel free to air your views, but please go easy on me.
I'm sure you boys will know exactly what it is..... or is going to be
Bit early for me but it does look like a B-29. It also looks like the way I do a profile, except I would have the humps and bumps as different layers. That way I can remove them as required. Also, I gather from the angle this will be sitting on its gear. And what size (I work in pixels)?
It’s either a B29 Superfortress, a Washington, or a Tupolev copy.
Which ever it is, it amounts to the same thing.
Too early for criticism at this stage, but I would agree with anadc4 on the angle you have drawn it at, it does look like it will have the gear down?
Are you using layers?
If you are going to do the gear up, now is the time to change the angle I would say, before you get too involved with detail.
By the way, welcome to simmers, it’s a great place for the budding profile artist and I am sure you will fit in well, judging from your choice of subject matter.
This is the one I did in 2005, very early beginnings of my profiling (if at all beginnings haha)
If you wanna make the same plane, I have excellent photos for this one
Welcome Early-Bird, I'm sure you will find all the feedback here will be of the constructive variety, as there are some exceptional talents posting here.
Its quite an ambitious first up project, its always interesting watching a profile progress, so post often.
Welcome to the fold Early-Bird..any questions or info feel free to ask.. were a good bunch of people here all on an upward learning curve... so sit back & enjoy the company

WELCOME TO THE PARTY
I have to side with Giant, you sure did start with an easy subject
It does look like you've got all the needed parts to start with between new profile and your 2005 version.
Any updates yet?
