Sky Racers

This is an entry for Luminarium Sketch Wars - [link] - Update - LOL, I won xD Lucky me there were no painting gurus involved in the round xD

This was supposed to be a quick action shot, but I managed to get some details pretty tight, and still preserve the sketchy energetic feeling of the overall piece.

I've been experimenting with several perspectives grids, you can see that the big shipbuilding and the foreground craft have separate perspective planes. This feels very natural to me, because in real world, aicraft fly in different planes unless in a formation. The background racers are in "main" perspective.

I'm a slow painter, because this is still new to me, and I still need to relax and paint more freely. It took me about 3-5 hours. Made in Photoshop CS5 with no reference used. Brushes are generic chalk and similar, nothing ready-made.
