Man do you make these just by visualising them in your head or do you use a reference? Either way incredible.

It exists in World of Tanks (don't play that game) so, references. Either way, thank you.

Okay, I think I want to do this too--draw a vehicle before getting farther so I can compare later.
Lots of cool detail, and the boxy part of the tank and treads of the tank looks like they work in 3D space.
Some of the ellipses, particularly on the right side of the gun, seem like they are bit too great a degree. In the last two minutes of Proko's structure video (see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uEtdDvK6Xo&t=105s ), he talks about how to use a pen to estimate ellipse degree. You hold the pen up at the angle of the thing you're drawing, and take note of the curve on the ring on it.

Oh god I did not expect an actual critique at all! Thank you so much. Also, fyi, I spent too much time trying to figure out how that turret would look like at that angle even with a 3D model as reference, so I appreciate your input. The muzzle brake, the part you were talking about, I just rushed it because I was too tired and only wanted to get it over with, hence its angle.

Rapid Viz
Rapid Viz is a book after mine own heart, and exists very much in the same spirit of the concepts that inspired Drawabox. It's all about getting your ideas down on the page, doing so quickly and clearly, so as to communicate them to others. These skills are not only critical in design, but also in the myriad of technical and STEM fields that can really benefit from having someone who can facilitate getting one person's idea across to another.
Where Drawabox focuses on developing underlying spatial thinking skills to help facilitate that kind of communication, Rapid Viz's quick and dirty approach can help students loosen up and really move past the irrelevant matters of being "perfect" or "correct", and focus instead on getting your ideas from your brain, onto the page, and into someone else's brain as efficiently as possible.
Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.
Consider the following:
- If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
- Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
- Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
- Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook
Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
