To be honest, my way definitely isn't the 'best' way and a lot of my friends doing art courses would kill me if they saw how I do it. If you have a look around on Youtube you can find a lot of speed-painting videos, which are really good; in my case I just painted flat colours on, added shading, added the panel lines, and then stuffed around with blending. The .psd file has a some 20 or so layers, and that's after I merged a good deal of them (I did the Spitfire's fuselage in chunks over several days, as I was painting during the times when my internet was down).

Don't worry though, there'll definitely be more. I've got myself a nice screen to work on next, I won't spoil the surprise entirely but it'll involve a certain aircraft named after a nocturnal bird
