Description My first submission - yaaaaay! Anyway, I suddenly got the urge to draw something, so I sat down and cranked out this bad boy in about three and a half hours. The B-2 is tied with the SR-71 as my favorite airplane, and I was rather pleased with how this turned out.

I don't think I've ever drawn a plane before, and in my opinion, the stealth bomber was a good place to start - it's an awesome-looking plane that's basically a bunch of straight lines and right angles. What to do with the shading presented a bit of a problem though... after all, they're black, but you don't want to lose sight of the detail. The perspective was also kind of annoying... it's supposed to look like it's banking.

I love B-2s.

Nice, hard to capture a plane coloured all the same.

Heya! That's a great job you did on that plane! I wish I still had the patience to draw stuff other than people/human-like things, but forget about me... this is very detailed, and a way better job than I can do with planes.

Haha! I probably would have thought something more along the line of UFO sighting...
