I was wondering as to the viability of sketching one. I didn't think of doing one from the SAF mainly because I lack photo references of SAF machines. If I have them, well, then, I can consider. <BR/><BR/>I would be interested in SAF Centurions though.<BR/><BR/>You flatter me. Tamiya artists use oils and they take approximately three months to create a piece. They would have vast amounts of photographic references, line drawings, plans and so forth. It is akin to a technical drawing. And oils take days to dry too. I don't have the ability, well, at least not yet. Heheheh.<BR/><BR/>Similarly, the artists illustrating for Hasegawa, Dragon and others, probably use acrylics or goraches. Those are easier but a lot less life-like. Even then, it is not a trivial task. One may have to do that as a career. A single picture of my tank drawing takes about two to three hours at most. A vast difference.Chuang Shyue Chouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03497292334309793651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15636875.post-1127398731721349932005-09-22T22:18:00.000+08:002005-09-22T22:18:00.000+08:00You can probably try submitting your entries to th...You can probably try submitting your entries to the model kit manufacturers like Tamiya. <BR/><BR/>How about the SAF's AMX-13? Going to be on your list?<BR/><BR/>:)takchekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17726707339435418357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15636875.post-1126616646597878552005-09-13T21:04:00.000+08:002005-09-13T21:04:00.000+08:00Jeanie, drawing has been a passion for me for over...Jeanie, drawing has been a passion for me for over thirty years. I can still remember sketching on the empty spaces and pages of my mommy's annual shareholder reports when I was four!<BR/><BR/>Sassy Nurse, thanks. Everyone is artistic or creative in their own way. I am sure if you really wanted to, you could draw too.<BR/><BR/>AG, Pilot G-Tec 0.4? It has a constant flow with a very hard nib, right? I can understand somewhat, seeing your style. Yes, they are much better than many technical pens. I used to use a refillable one with a titanium tip in the late eighties but I overused it till it leaked badly. I like the hard tip with the soft head of those technical pens with pigment ink. Why? Well, when it comes to mid-stage and when the ink flow is uneven, you can do wonderful shades and effects... Yes, control is important here.Chuang Shyue Chouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03497292334309793651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15636875.post-1126604225967310782005-09-13T17:37:00.000+08:002005-09-13T17:37:00.000+08:00Go copic markers!! :P personally i prefer Pilot G-...Go copic markers!! <BR/><BR/>:P personally i prefer Pilot G-tec 0.4 very versatile little pen - better than most technical pens. :PAGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17920036302023075119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15636875.post-1126589556014065632005-09-13T13:32:00.000+08:002005-09-13T13:32:00.000+08:00u like drawing and art alot?can see u are an artis...u like drawing and art alot?<BR/><BR/>can see u are an artistic person!!!-Jeanie.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14157469449666320604noreply@blogger.com
