Eye of the Sword

All In My HeadThe first time I meet Adela is on the first day of second grade – the loneliest day of my life.
While the others are out swinging on monkey-bars and slithering down static slides, I take refuge in a gnarly oak, whose hollows and knots are fitted perfectly to my slender and delicate body. I’m half-sleeping and half-daydreaming when a loud voice interrupts my solitude:
“What are you doing?”

My face is cold - and wet. I rub my eyes with the heels of my hands, and then open them.
Under the gloomy cloud cover of the East coast, I can see the generic brick building that I call All In My Head

Great Gallery, very superb pen/ink work. I actually prefer the bland b/w single-subject drawings of aircraft which are very difficult to find so kudos to you for adding to that kiddie pool.

Many thanks. I liked the pen and ink venue and wanted one when I was in pilot training until I saw the price. Then I said, "I think I can do that." I'm trying to get started again after a bit of a layoff.

I wish I could do pen/ink but I'm good with b/w pencil and thats it.

You say "when I was in pilot training", so you are an pilot? If so what do you fly?

I usually put together a pencil sketch and then ink it with details and shading. Makes for good cramps in the knuckles!

I flew F-4s in the 80s for 10 years in the Air Force then went to the Guard where I flew F-15s for 15 years. I'm now a contractor with the Air Force.

Thats outstanding, its always nice to meet someone who does/did my dream job.

Your art is great, but I have to ask how did you get the shape/perspective right on your planes?
