Russell Smith Posted 9 March , 2006 Share Posted 9 March , 2006 Thought I might give you all a peek at some of the figure sketches I've done for a painting I'm currently working on. The chap sitting on the ground holding the broken propeller blade is a self portrait. Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell Smith Posted 9 March , 2006 Author Share Posted 9 March , 2006 Is your avatar one of your own works, too, Russell? Lovely website, by the way. Gwyn It sure is. I did that piece last year, in fact. It is a pencil portrait done from a famous photo of Lt. d r Josef Mai of Jasta 5. Thanks for the compliment on the website. Here is the full drawing of Mai.

Dolphin Posted 9 March , 2006 Share Posted 9 March , 2006 Russell Excellent drawings! However, if I could be just a little critical/questioning, I wonder if the rifles in drawings Nos 1 and 4 might need some amendment. The rifle in No 1 doesn't appear to have the sturdy wood structure up to the muzzle that characterised the SMLE Mk III (it looks more like a WWII Mk IV), while the SMLE in No 4 looks to be too short. As they say, there's no point in being a nit if you don't pick! Regards Gareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackblue Posted 9 March , 2006 Share Posted 9 March , 2006 Hope you don't mind Russ, I think these are just studies. Have a look at the site under work in progress Gareth. I think the weapons look much better here. http://www.russellsmithart.com/Small%20pages/MvR%20Crash.htm Rgds Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
