This thread showing up on the front page is odd, yes, but keep doing your thing joker187.
It's unfortunate that the stars aligned or whatever the hell happened to unfairly direct this front page attention towards your thread, but don't let it dissuade you from posting. As others have said, your work ethic will pay off, man. Just keep at it.
When did polycount become such a cool club where you have to have a certain skill level to get in? We preach "try before you ask for help" but in this case everyone just jumped straight to poking fun. It really lowers the tone. I enjoy when we can have a little laugh at the expense of trolls and idiots who just will not listen, but this is just straight up unprofessional and sad. How long before we are at the level of 4chan's 3D board? How about, rather than bickering, you just move on with your lives? What are we all achieving here?

...He drew an MS Paint-style grass tank with a cow on top of it. I think he is trolling.

Since we receive a wave of troll just spamming ms paint stuff.
@joker187 Don't be discouraged by what people say. If we're talking serious feedback and critique, the armored vehicles that you drew freehand have a flat and incomplete look to them. I know you said that you didn't use reference to draw them and I think it's great that you're trying not to rely on it. However reference material is especially helpful for drawing vehicles since it can help correct some assumptions we all make about specific vehicles (for instance, since my brain thinks the wheels are the most important part of most cars I always draw them too big). So I would say don't rely on reference like lots of other lazy artists but don't write it off completely
Beyond that there are some fundamentals that you could practice to make your work better. Mainly your line quality and sense of 3d forms. If you want to draw more vehicles then I'd recommend looking at tutorials by Scott Robertson. In particular there's a Gnomon Workshop tutorial that I found really helpful: Basic Perspective Form Drawing . You might have to pay to see it but I think it'll be really worth it for you and it could really take your art to the next level.
Overall I'm sorry that your thread got hijacked by some mean people. But I for one am glad to see that you're still posting and I encourage you to keep drawing and improving. Good Luck!
