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.

A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
