I don't want to be an ass but it looks a bit flat :S

[santynus]

thank you Supah for your suggestion

don't worry mate I put my color profile on this fantastic forum for impruve my tecnique and all the comment are welcome

I put more shadows and light effect, I make one version clean and another more dirty...

[Serval]

I agree with Supah.
Try to improve your light so the shapes of the aircraft look more realistic.
Study photographs to see what it looks like.
Make the fuselage look more round and the stabilo a bit more flat. In your profile it looks as thick as the fuselage

Hi serval

I have just finish to improve light and shadows ond the fusolage and the elevetor I hope now they look more round

I already check a lot of photo and other D520 color profile when I have begun the draw, my scared is make so much darkens or lightness the profile, I prefer make little step and ask opinion about my work, I think is really thin the line for make one good work or one ugly thing...

thanks for your patience and the profits suggestions

P.S.
sorry for my poor english

[Supah]

I wouldnt worry about overdoing lighting and shading, just do it on seperate layers. You can always delete the layer if you dont like the result

[Serval]

That is better. But mind the nose. It looks pretty rectangular to me.

And as Supah says, use MANY layers. Do every piece of highlight and shade on a different one and you can adjust the transparency when it is needed or when one influences another too much.

I think this picture shows a nice highlight shade effect as could be used in a profile: http://batfredland.free.fr/AA2003_D520Mae832.jpg

Note the light and shade just below the cockpit for example.
