Looks good! The only weird thing is that the black line separating the rudder from the fixed part of the vertical stabilizier appears to disappear (sorry, unintentional pun) halfway down.
That was from the original (or at least The Kao's version). It looks like they turned it into a gray line and didn't realize that we use black lines for all 90-degree breaks. The rudder is
much more prominent above that point, so I can see where there might be some confusion. I've fixed it, at any rate.
Hi, I just notice one small error with the Twin Otter drawing, I'm not sure whether this was added in by you or by the original artist. The small vertical "fins" that you see attached to the top and bottom of the horizontal stabilizer are only fitted during float operations. They provide additional directional stability along the yaw axis at low airspeeds to counteract the large surface area of the floats. It is not typical to have them fitted during operations on wheels.
That was The Kao's doing. I've edited them out of the wheeled versions.
I think the fuselage panel lines could be toned down a touch as well but I think that's more a matter of personal taste, as we often see them exaggerated in Shipbucket drawings when they'd be less apparent to the naked eye.
Eh, that's a standard palette used on many different blank aircraft drawings, which I've sort of standardized in my drawings. A few people also critiqued
The Kao's drawing for having too low a contrast, so I'm going to err on the side of the common panel line exaggeration.
If you have any other Twin Otter-related questions please don't hesitate to ask, I flew them in northern Canada for a little over three years back when I was beginning my career in aviation. It's nice to see the mighty Twin get depicted here!
Thanks! I was just introduced to the Twin Otter two days ago, and I've really taken a liking to it. It's nice to meet a former Twin pilot.
Anyway, here are the updated drawings:
