simonross46 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 This is a drawing I have recently finished towards my A-Level Art couse. It is an A2 drawing of a Supermarine Spitfire flying over London during World War Two. The Spitfire was drawn from one of my own photos and the background is a real photo from World War Two, and I have taken the time to ensure my drawing is exactly the same as the photo I had (this eventually racked up to 23 hours of drawing time in total. I am immensely proud and I am showing everyone, so I wanted to let you all see it too!

simonross46 Posted November 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Cheers guys. I am very grateful for these skills, makes me proud to see some of the drawings displayed and be able to tell people I was the one who made them happen ... or better still, to see peoples reactions without them realising the person who did them is a few feet away!

Uberduck Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Amazing picture mate. Makes me proud to be British seeing one of our great icons flying over London! Glad you were selective with your choice of background; wouldn't have looked the same if it was flying over the London Eye or Milennium Dome!

simonross46 Posted November 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 haha thats exactly right Uberduck ...

Number2Fan Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 God that's crap, thought you were supposed to be good at drawing?? (Quite obviously a joke but we don't want your head getting too big, headphones don't come in extra large for a start) Really good drawing Simon, how long did it take? Was it from your mind or did you have some subjects? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonross46 Posted November 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 It's appauling I know, thanks for your honesty That took 23 hours in total. I drew from 2 photographs, the Spitfire was a photo from my camera and the background is a photo of London actually during WW2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonross46 Posted November 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 I've done a life drawing class once before .. didn't enjoy it very much (and the drawngs show it, i ended up drawing cartoon faces on them all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number2Fan Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 COMBING!!!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonross46 Posted November 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 I would do the drawings squire, but apart from having loads of work already towards art ... I can't draw faces or the human form. The closest I have gone towards doing a drawing like it is the one of 'Sophie Trollope', but I had her cover her face for the exact reason mentioned in this post lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number2Fan Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 AHA!!! Something I can do better than you at last!!! LOL I can draw faces, piece of p***, actually no its really hard but I can do it, and people say its good, and "you can tell who it is" Which I've never worked out whether its a good thing or not. To me they look fine, but I may be deluded. Anyway, Quadders is that really you??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
