F-41 Longsword - Very rough sketch

Very messy pencil sketch of a F-41 Longsword, the prominent US air superiority fighter/interceptor of 2017. I spent hours grinding through a great deal of learning during this original sketch's making.
Look how the left tail surface is clearly wrong angle: I really spent an enormous amount of time trying to get it to look right. In retrospect the left tail should flat and the right tail more normal to the surface of the page!

The blotchy stuff is ALL eraser marks, courtesy an old eraser cube I used here but never again (because of the somewhat ridiculous marks it leaves). You can really see how much I experimented with nose length and wing size though.

Was the blotchy outline because of all the eraser marks or was is supposed to be shadow? I don't remember it on the hard copy for some reason...
