I put my recent lessons in watercolor to use with ink, and I think it worked out quite well. This is my little tribute to the F6F Hellcat, a homely-but-reliable carrier aircraft from World War II. It's not the most handsome aircraft, or the most famous, but it got the job done. Besides, that name.
This painting pretty much went 1) blob in underpainting, 2) add lighter shades, 3) add darker shades, 4) add black. Straightforward enough that the biggest problem was keeping my rear in the chair to paint it. The one addition I would make to this is a few highlights with gouache (whiskers on the cat, shine on the bullet casings, etc).
