Because they're beautiful!
More nice work here Tony, you're going to have to rename the thread!.

You might well have a point on the renaming...
I thought that I'd draw a somewhat different 'bird' for my Dad's birthday. Much quicker than drawing the feathered variety. The only thing nagging me about it is that this aircraft is now in different colours, the owner having decided that this colour scheme was innacurate for this aircraft (this being a Mk XVI and the colours belonging to an F. 21). Ah well...

Nice display of versitility - barn owl is very, very lovely and dad will be delighted with his 'bird' - plumage irregularlites or not.

C'est pas ma faute, je suis anglais.
I've seen a few of these birds, cranes, they're called, until you get binoculars on them. Accurate drawing of manmade shapes is one of the hardest things to do, at least when you get a line wrong on a bird , it adds to the movement! This is a wonderful picture.

First for a little while...
Whew, been too busy to do much drawing lately as we're getting ready for the move to Australia, but I just about managed to squeeze this one in for someone.
There's something I don't like about this picture, although I guess it might have looked a bit better if I'd used a smoother paper.
Back to birds soon enough, though. I get a month off in the UK first, so should be able to get a few more done then.

Ta! I really had a liking for technical drawing when I was at school, so I quite enjoy both sides - fluidity and edges.
When I move out to Australia, it'll be still in the winter, so plenty of evenings in which to draw and work on the website and the new book.

It's another super drawing Tony - and good luck down under, mate.

Rather annoyingly, the chap I did the Tomcat picture for has dropped out of contact and hasn't paid up the very small sum (CHF 25) I asked for to cover pencils and paper.

Smart job!

Thanks! The picture didn't actually scan too well, which is a shame and a lot of the detail seems to be blurred, but you can't have everything. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to do a bit more soon.
