So here's my drawing lined up on the horizontal and vertical reference lines. Its a pencil sketch with wide, somewhat fuzzy outlines. I used the rudder-hinge as a vertical datum and the airframe / spinner gap as the second vertical datum. The bottom of the fuselage and the top of the canopy are my horizontal datums.
There are countless errors in my original drawing but a common element that stands out, even after the wing in my drawing has been moved forward, (see leading edge fairing) is that pretty much everything is too far aft, because I made the engine too long and the bay directly behind it too long. I've started to draw-in the canopy and windscreen using hard lines here, but its still too far aft.
You can also see the defect in using .jpg images - the reference lines flare into fuzzy, shapes, rather than crisp lines of pixels. Lesson learned. You can also see that I've got too many vertical lines, in red, AND besides getting rid of those that serve no good purpose, I need to use more than one color for vertical lines. After some experimentation, I found four colors that did the job: Red, orange (tangerine), bright green (spring), magenta, which you can see in the previous photo.

In my spare time, apart from poking around falling down old buildings, I also make maps. This is one of my better ones.
I hardly ever draw architecture or landscapes so these aren't exciting, but it was good to challenge myself
A drawing I did from a sketch from a sketchbook that I brought to Italy last summer. This is a drawing that I did for Montserrat's annual art-auction-fundraiser thing in May. The buildings in Italy are better than the buildings in America. The drawing is 30 inches long and 22 inches tall and when I was carrying the glass sheet for the frame home from the glass store I almost tripped and fell on the ice seven times.
