After a bit of a break from art, I returned to it jumping right into a big 24" x 18" drawing of an EA-6B Prowler nearly launch from a carrier.
The EA-6B Prowler was the primary tactical jamming aircraft of the US Navy and the US Marine Corps from the early 1970s to 2019. The Prowler first entered service in the 1971 and has demonstrated its battlefield performance in Southeast Asia, in Operation Desert Storm, in Bosnia-Herzegovina and in Kosovo, enforcing the northern no-fly zone over Iraq and in Operation Iraqi Freedom. The USN had a fleet of 124 Prowlers which equipped USN aircraft carriers, forward land bases and the US Marine Corps squadrons. The aircraft was retired in 2019 and replaced by the EA-18G Growler, an electronic attack version of the F/A-18 Super Hornet.
Here is a short, two minute video time-lapse of the whole process. It took approximately 25 hours to draw, working on it off and on since Feb. 26th.
The original drawing (24" x 15") is available for sale and prints are available at my shop via Fine Art America/Pixels at: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/ea-6b-prowler-dale-jackson.html Enjoy!
