Feedback appreciated:

Hey guys, over my work with NautilusCommand on his lego mech concept art, he said that I might want to make a thread to ask for help and extra tips for drawing mechs and other mechanical objects, in the hopes I would get better than I am. So please look at my drawings and judge them and tell me what I can do better, honestly please don't be gentle.
So without further ado, here are a few recent drawings of mine.
The first being the oldest of them.
Starting with the Hammerhands from the 2012 box set (about a year ago.)
Spoiler

Next is one I did about 3-4months back, I geuss its some sorta Battletech style tank. The MAo8-WarMachine
Spoiler

And next the most recent is a mock up of NautilusCommand's phalanx battlemech.
Spoiler

I am sorry for the bad quality pictures, but by this thread I hope by the help of you guys that I can get better at this. Kinda like GonaDie's thread a while back.

Thanks for your time and help,
Sincerely
Ace

Facebook is always watching... So is the gov- stops there, they'll come for me if I say it.

Hey do you think it's because I just linked my profile to Facebook? Like now they'll always be watching what I post here?

I have no idea what causes the white names to be there or not
It has disappeared now though

Some feedback I hadn't thought of before:
I am liking the perspective on the one tank - which is kinda enhanced by the lack of it on the other.
(With what little art I have made - perspective is something I have little skill at of myself :wacko:)

Well, there is not much I could say since you are clearly better then me, BUT I would like to comment abou your Hammerhands. I noticed that it's right arm is CLEARLY bigger than it's left arm. It should be smaller since it's further away.Other than that, your art is quite good.Don't stop drawing and you will be even better soon! Good luck Ace!

I wish I had the tiniest ounce of drawing ability. Even my stick figures look like horrible mutants. :(

Your mechs look far better than anything I could ever make.

I would say you are doing rather good, and With practice, you will do amazing things.

I would suggest this; that the right tools are vey much worth it (getting quality paper, graphite pencils, ect ect...)
