Thanks for the opportunity Jean!
I find airplanes particularly difficult to draw. I'm always amazed by the ease Jean draws them with, and especially his ability to caricature them. If you've never seen his stuff definitely check out his blog.

Wing Walkers
My cartoon airplane drawing hero Jean Barbaud is putting together a new book about sharkmouth airplanes. I was so honored that he asked me to contribute a sketch, my enthusiasm soon brought it to a full finish.
Thanks for the opportunity Jean!

Man, that is one a beautful drawing. I love the tense faces of the girl and the whole feeling of movement. I never thought you'd find airplanes difficult to draw, you did a pretty good job in that one Rex Steele story!
The perspective on the plane and the girls are just awesome.
great job Bill. I love the brushy inks on the girls. what do you use for inking these days by the way? sure looks like brush to me.
I had only just discovered Jean's art recently, man, he puts so much life into his machines, lots to learn there.
Dannng! that's awesome Bill!
Thanks de aap,
I'm happy with the planes I draw in general, it's just a bit more of a struggle than say, girls.
Mike,
I ink with a Pentel pocket brush pen which is basically a real brush with an ink cartridge on it. It's great, no dipping required.
so cool
Wow this is great! And thanks for turning me on to Jean. You're right his planes are amazing I love that WWII stuff.
Dude, this is easily my favorite Presing drawing so far. Sooo good!
