« on: August 24, 2008, 03:30:06 PM »

Dear all

After having test all Photoshop possibilities , I have begun a serious work on Fw 190D-9.  Yesterday I spent all day , doing the layers with the shpae of differents sub-assembly of the machine , fuselage , engine wings , rudder , tail ....

separate mayers alos cover the wheels , the rudder , the canopy .and so on ...

It is too long to describe all layers  ...

Now I concentrate on the canopy , not less than 5 layes are used to represent this part .

layer 1 Shape of the canopy frame
layer 2 Shape of the amour plate
layer 3 panels lines and details (bolts ..)
layer 4 weathering .
layer5  shadows and highlights

I will show you other seaprate parts of the drawing when finished , I have few time betweeen my family life , my third book, my job ...

Hope you like it

Dear All

Here is my first drawing , after studying the techniques explained in the two major posts above .

Many thanks first to Srecko , who spent time to comment my first test off line

All comments are wellcome , consider this drawing as a test bed for me to try to find the way I will  build my detailled profile of Fw 190D-9.

Rows of rivets are not represented but now I know how to draw them .

I do not apply any markings , but it was not useful for my first step . is is just new layers to add .

All the best
