Pretty slick, nice work on the treads!

Pretty nice. My two critiques are:

1. The muzzle (?) of the tank is slightly all over the place. Whether it goes up, down bends towards us or away. It's pretty minor.

2. Also a minor critique. The lettering could have been done a little cleaner. If you sketch the lettering in lightly and then use a french curve and ruler you could have really made the lettering pop.

Overall it's really nice, it would be interesting if you make a few copies of this and play around with the line weights. Thicker outer weights with medium and thin inner weights. As well as thin to thick the closer you get to the camera.

Whoops! Was that 3?

I agree with the barrel comment ,I didn't notice it till I up load it.the whole thing curve down.Someday I'll learn to use a ruler and a freach curve.And the line wights seems to be
my acheilles heel.Thanks for taken the time Critique it.

I hear ya. You can be so into a drawing and just fall in love with it and the second you scan it it looks completely different! Happens with me all of the time, it's frickin' weird.

Nice Howitzer. My $.2 would be using vanishing lines to do the perspective, especially on vehicles since they are mostly straight lines. Secondly, depending on where the light source is coming from, at the track area, there should be shadows covering a lot of details on wheels and tracks, draw the shadows.
