Getting back into the feel for things by being self indulgent. this began as my tight sketch layer but i decided not to ink it bc i liked the lines as is.
i've been watching scale modelling videos lately and it really put me in the mood for some gritty detail drawing. if you're ever stuck on building up mechanical detail and greebles i would highly suggest returning to the source and studying modified builds of scale model kits. especially since resin 3D printing has entered the hobby people have been able to cram soo many extra tiny details into simplified designs. scale modelling is also a useful reference on how to introduce more realism into mechanical objects through weathering etc. i would recommend this channel which is also highly informative for anyone into modelling.
now i really want to get back to all the unfinished gunpla kits i have sitting around LOL
and here's the bonus colour roughs

thanks for reading!
