This is my first drawing.

It is a Polish TKS tankette, armed with a 7.92mm Hotchkins wz.25 heavy machine-gun, in standard 1939 camouflage.

I used the same colors as on Rhade's and Darth Panda's Polish 7TP so that this drawing could be compatible with other drawings.

Because the vehicle is so small, it was difficult adding certain details to it.
If anyone is willing I would love to get some criticism.

Thank you.

Poland, TKS:

Hello, welcome to SB, and congratulations on your first drawing! It's good that you chose a real design and something that hadn't been done before. Also I'm glad you chose to use the same colours as other artists for commoniality's sake.

I studied your drawing closely, and while not being an expert on interwar armour, I'd say the profile is pretty good. However, I feel that on a closer look, the view is confused and cluttered with no apparent reason. I'd advise you to keep practicing and try maybe to go for a more "representative" result rather than photorealism, if it makes any sense to you.

Cheers and I hope to see more of you soon.

Those are old drawings, very old. Based or common but rather limited in quality sources and my early skills. No problem if you would try to updated color scheme in to more correct one, I did plan to do this for some time and TK series of tankettes was in more or less WIP stage for years now in my databanks for ground element of huge Polish Wings topic.

Scale is ok according to FD rules. Because of that it is very, very hard to create TK series because it did had rather interesting angles and small details. So this is very good job.

I have two comments, front plate looks flat because you use black line only on outside line, you should also use it to mark slope line. I would also lower on one pixel MG mask in relation to front plate, that it would look like stick out by one pixel forward.

And use the actual template for FD, with shipbucket logo.
