Bezo that is simply outstanding advice
Coming from a true ship bucket master too
APDAF I'm a newb in drawing as well and I honestly see at least in my opinion that u have improved
U have taken steps of improvement
Just keep on taking them and don't stop and the sky's the limit
Even if u disagree with people advice seriously consider and try it
I honestly would love to see u try a real design just to hone your skills
Or maybe one of the beginner base drawing eswube made like I am
They may not fit your interests but they may help
Considering your designs it seems like dreadnaughts pre dreds
And battle cruisers are your favorites so why not try one and include it for your au
If this is bad advice other members say so as I don't have much of a right as someone with one posted kit bash to try to supply advice but i hope it's at least a bit helpful
