Here’s a lok at my latest sketcwork, taken from the Top Gun Maverick movie poser I saw it and it was to me this brilliant blend of old and new, a now much older Maverick looking up at the twin fighters from a P51 Mustang. I (for some reason) had to draw it… So I did.
I came up with this, even though it’s in pencil I’ve tried to capture shadows, reflections, the form and the person down to the creases in his t-shirt.
I even created a small video, showing off the last stages of the drawing.

I think that pencil sketch is awesome!! I wish I had talent like that, alas all I can do is use crayons…….to help the stupid people in other department understand how to use grant funds…ugh.
I saw that movie this past weekend and although I was totally prepared for it to crash and burn (no pun intended) because I’m not a huge Tom Cruise fan. I was pleasantly surprised by it.
This is a great sketch, Simon! I love the depth created by the different levels of shading.
