Hey! I'm Bruce from the UK - I live in the little town of Mildenhall in Suffolk. First, a BIG thank you to Mr. Draplin for this awesome tutorial - your videos kick ass.

So, I started by collecting some inspiration online + I made a visit to the town museum and took a few photos around town myself.

More development below creating the town image. I started off far too detailed then went with silhouttes like in Aarons' tutorial as it works far better in the final image. Also in the image below is the KC-135 aircraft illustration I used from a previous project of mine.
