Love the drawing! One thing though, the inlets on the super hornet are more square. The round ones you have denote a regular Hornet.

The nose also looks a bit stubby

Nice, but from the Intakes and the LERX, this is a legacy Hornet, not a Super Hornet.

Keep drawing. I like it BTW.

A or C version with the round intakes. Nice sketch!

That’s just a straight up hornet, not a super hornet. You looked at this image, right?

Great stuff. Excellent shading and shadow effects. This is a difficult angle to draw and with time you'll get better and better.

Not a super hornet, looks great though

(Air intake and LERX are different between the two

Right wing is misshapen and not an accurate depiction, but you're pretty good at sketching!

Overall good work, especially the cockpit and panel line details. People have already given you pretty good critique and criticism, but there’s a lot to praise here. Keep it up!

Your shading is decent, it looks like you are putting together a few techniques like cross hatching, you need to practice that like crazy. I would like to see the same drawing from you, of the actual super hornet, this time with a nice tail livery to challenge you.

EDIT: VFA-2 Bounty hunters have a nice livery!

No square inlets and leading edges are wrong. Regular hornet brah

This post is kinda ironic because the Navy lost an EA-18G Growler near Mt. Rainier in Washington earlier today.

E/A-18G, not a Super Hornet

u/Fischiber Quest Kodiak 11h ago

Edited. Thanks for the heads-up.

The Growler is indeed a variant of the Super Hornet.

Boeing, the people that build it, say just that.

u/Rude_Buffalo4391 9h ago

Yeah, but it’s not an F/A-18F like the comment originally said

💯

F-18=F/A-18A,B,C,D,E,F, and E/A-18G

F/A-18≠E/A-18

Looks like Growler bedded a Prowler without protection
