Description The stealth shuttle fighter in LEO, perhaps on re-entry trajectory? I seem to have drawn quite a bit on this shuttle fighter huh? A slightly different version everytime. Can't help it; I like this design. Notice that the page number is now set to 1. Yup, I've started on a new larger sketch book.

Meticulous and elegant shading, again. In my book, such simplicity is not an easy thing to attain -- at least, not for me! I see blank space and I am compelled to fill it, so I admire an artist who can use such wide smooth spaces and forms so well.

The only possible issue I could see is one of contrast at the bottom of the image. The nose of the craft blends in a bit with the land below. A minor issue, though.

This is the most masterful use of pencil sketching I have ever seen, by a tremendous margin.

Seriously. Is it the paper, the pencils, meticulous attention to detail, or a combination of the three?

If NASA saw this, they'd claim they invented it! ^_^! Good job!

i was thinking this sketch as a ship and i was gonna say "too aerodynamic for space" BUUUT since is a space shuttle, it IS supposed to be air-friendly. Like the detail of using vector exhausts in the design, however, such a shuttle shouldn´t have air vents on the thrusters or engines... however it made me remember the phoenix of "battle of the planets" (G-Force, to others), wen going to "space mode" shuts the air vents and changes to internal LOX. Hmm... now, i want to see ventral, side, top views of that shuttle, or to put it easy... I want more, I say, more, MWAHAHAHAHA!!!
