Slower Progress..

.. life gets in the way... 3 more commissions in the pipeline too... another racing car, a WW2 warship and a glider over the southern alps...
I think Id better retire and just draw (if there was a living in it!!)

Suzuki wheels

slow progress this week as have been cataloguing my Magic card collection online. Fun to discover cards that have big values that I didnt know I had!
But 2 more sales and an order for the Tauranga aircraft museum. Still... the Croz is starting to really interest me.

Croz

finished the Tiger Moth.. agonized over a background but decided to leave it blank.

and now Ive started a 'quick' study of Graeme Crosby on his 1980 world championship Suzuki
I like the folds in the riding suit... lots of black as usual...

Yellow Tiger

the yellowness!! my eyes hurt!  but its looking great to me...
nearly done now except for the background.. leaning towards wispy cloud effect..

Tiger Tiger....

Finished and scanned the Fangio/Mercedes A4 pic (see below) and decided to use the other A4 page (I sliced an A3 page in half for Fangio) to colour in the Tiger Moth I did for the boss a couple of months ago.
I simply printed the black and white scan onto the good cartridge paper and away we went. The black shading underneath the colour looks OK I think... anyway it feels good seeing the plane emerge into colour! Possibly should have used blue paper but then the yellow would have turned green!

and here's the Fangio scan,
