Jet Plane goes vroooom

This morning I was experimenting with my shiny new DiamondFx palette, as you do, and my wee boy says “I want an aeroplane.” Vehicles are not my favourite thing, but you can’t say no. To my surprise, I was very pleased with the end result, so todays post, is a quick “jet plane how-to”.
Load a small flat brush with metallic blue paint. Hold it on a 45 degree angle and stroke up and then across the hand. Flick up vertically at the end for the tail. Fill in underneath your up stroke with another horizontal stroke to fill in the body of the plane. Brush the wings out on a steep angle using just the tip of your flat brush then colour in.
Using black and a small round brush, draw in small oblongs for the jet engines and a window at the front for the pilot. Shade under the body and wings.
Switch to white paint, highlight along the top of the body and wings. Draw “m” shapes for clouds and drag the paint downwards to fill in the clouds. If you want, add small white lines from the back of the engines. Simple and effective for cheek or hand.
