Description
An F-111 Aardvark with swept back wings in afterburn. The aircraft is a Mesh Factory creation, rendered in Keyshot over a background created with Vue. The render was then repainted on the Galaxy Tab A with S Pen and Autodesk SketchBook Pro Mobile. The General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark is a retired supersonic, medium-range, multirole combat aircraft, and named after the similarity it had to the long nose animal, with low-level, terrain-following capabilities. The F-111 pioneered variable-sweep wings, afterburning turbofan engines and automated terrain-following radar for low-level, high-speed flight. It was cancelled and retired in the 1990s and replaced with the F-15 Strike Eagle. See many examples of David painting his works digitally like this one, having recorded the process on his display to watch on his YouTube channel, and see how he paints to get works like this.

David has always been good at sketching exactly what he sees and as faithfully as possible, that is, if he can see it first, this has become his ADVENTURE, once he helps that subject become reality, he finds something else he has not created before, something that he yearns to paint. For David, style and technique are secondary in importance to the subject, making them transparent, so the subject can form completely as it should without him interjecting his own personality. The joy of creating is what drives this whole process, more than anything else. Starting with an idea, a concept, he starts sketching, imagining, studying, creating the subject and composition, then develops the idea into his painting. The adventure of creation is not about David, it is about letting the creation come into existence, and his sole goal as an artist is to experience the joy of creating something fun or enjoyable, and to be able to share those creation experiences with all others.
