Su-35 "New Flanker"

[loscalifas9]

I'm not a profiler like Rat, Ugo and many more, but I like aircraft an would like to draw like all of you. My humble contribution to the forum, the new Su-35 made with Autocad. The proportions are as accurate as the plans and the fotograph corrections have permitted.
Thanks

hi young man,

not bad for a start, what drawing have you based this on

[loscalifas9]

I used drawing plans of the original Su-27 from a russian website and corrected them with recent pictures from the internet.
Thanks for looking,
Juan

P.S.: I am new in the fora and don't know how to post images that can be seen directly in the post. How do you do it?

[JMSmith]

under the message post box the is one named additional options, look for manage attachments, click on that and select the file you wish to upload, the click upload, the rest is automatic

Loscal, give me a ring if you want more info on this bird. A good start. There are many here who can help you reach the next level.

here you go my friend

[Ugo Crisponi]

That's a very good starting Juan!

next step would be shadows and highlights...do you have any Photoshop like software? that would be useful. CAD and vectorial software are perfect for the linedrawing and basic camo schema as you did.

Thanks Ugo,
I have Photoshop but don't know how to use it. I've to study some tutorial or instruction form, but drawing aircraft is a hobby, not my job and I have almost no time for it, but I will try.
Thanks again,
Juan

Even if it's not your job, I encourage you to continue.

Concerning Photoshop or equivalent (Gimp, ...) what you need to know about these drawing soft is to use layers, very important. It's like using transparent film on a drawing.
