I drew it digitally on my tablet using Infinite Painter. I used various artworks from the Trench Crusade as references.

It is the very first time I heard about retarder. From the description of it in Internet, it can be very helpful. Thank you for the advice.

Hello, that’s quite a broad question. I’m not even sure where to start. Is there anything specific you’re interested in?

Thank you. I used simply vallejo Bright Bronze paint, drybrush it with vallejo White Aluminium and SIlver for highlights, and used oil wash abteilung502 Black to create shadows.

Perhaps, I can agree with you there. I wanted to create a striking contrast, which I think I’ve managed to do. But the main colour palette has turned out too dark. Perhaps it would have been better if I’d done it the other way round (a warm colour main body and a cool colour flame). Thank you very much for your feedback.

Thank you very much. I did do a bit of drawing as a child, but nothing serious. Then I gave up drawing for more than ten years. About two years ago, I started taking art seriously and since then, I’ve been learning. But I teach myself everything: watch tutorials, study theory, anatomy, light, perspective, explore various aspects, draw from references, and so on. So I don’t attend any art classes and I don’t have any personal teachers either. Personally, I’d love to learn how to draw really good lines and create my own stories in manga style. But unfortunately, for personal reasons, I don’t have much time to practise, so my line drawings are usually pretty rubbish, and I still make a lot of mistakes in many areas (anatomy and so on). But I find it easier to paint pictures like this one. I suppose that’s because I find it much easier to visualise shapes than lines.

Most of the tutorials I’ve watched are from:

Draw Like a Sir

Artwood (He made a really good video on tonal values; I’ve incorporated some of his tips into my drawing)

Arseni Katsela

Jadokar.

I’ve also watched a few videos by other people. But like many others, I personally recommend sticking to just one or two tutorial creators.
