Grandpa has great taste in toys. My wife thinks it's too violent. We have different taste in toys. I like how you rendered the various surfaces. Cool image. Your son is going to have so much fun with this.

this is just amazing. how did you get the dark so dark on the plane? i really love your work. wish i was as good as you. elena

Artist Reply: I'll answer this question here on the site so others can see the answer too...I used a 6B wooded pencil in many many layers to get the black. Nowadays I would use a 3B mechanical pencil and achieve it in fewers layers.
