Russell Smith Posted 3 July , 2006 Share Posted 3 July , 2006 Got another perspective drawing finished for the DH2 project. Here it is by itsself and how it will look to the previous DH2 I posted a few weeks ago. DH2s are a pain in the rear to do perspective drawings for because of all the points you have to plot out, but I think this is going to be a really good piece in the end. the setting will be Vert Galand. the angle will be similar to that in the famous photo of the 32Sq DH2s lined up with the buildings in the background. someone from the Aerodrome Forum sent me some great color photos of the buildings at VG. I'll draw those in next, then come the figures. Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell Smith Posted 14 September , 2006 Author Share Posted 14 September , 2006 Thought it might be time to post another update on my DH2/Vert Galand project. I've gotten a lot of work done on it in the past week. Most of the figures are done, with the exception of the pilot and the guy in the right foreground (thats a photo of me there for the time being). The ground and sky are from a photo of a field that i took several months ago - slightly modified to suit this compostion. I shaded in the buildings in the background last night. All of the buildings are positioned according to the famous photo showing the DH2s of 32 Sq lined up at Vert Galand. I repositioned some of the elements in the background to correct for the difference in perspective from the high viewpoint of the photo to the much lower viewpoint of this piece. i've still got a few more figures to finish and a couple of small changes to make to the composition as you see it here, but its coming along...
