Hello guys, I started on this a while back (my first profile), and just today I at least got the basic shading and what not done. I know it looks like garbage compared to everything here, but I sure learned a lot along the way.

I figured I should at least show it here since most of what I learned about profile work was from this site.

P.S. I know the tail needs to be cleaned up a bit, I'll get to that at some point

Welcome to the mad house BM, you made a good start.

Hi Bluemoon,

The addiction begins! This is a great start. You've got feeling and textures happening already. Most first illustrations are very cold and hard. Well done! You've got some nice shading and highlighting happening on the rudder. Watch your markings, I believe the star should be parallel with the aircraft centre line. You need to rotoat it 10°-15° clockwise.

Grubby.
