You too can learn to draw with the Nemo method! TM

Here is a Mark V tank drawn in the time-honored style of the venerable Nemo. What do you think? Nix the machine gun?

Are you copying Fast Eddie's post? Tsk, tsk!

Looks good, maybe show the steps? IMHO, I think the machine gun is fine. Next time somebody's gonna have to do "Learn to Draw Infantry like Alex the Magnificent"!

I couldn't resist the urge to compare that same unit I drew a year ago for Alex's Russian Civil War...

Do you guys have to use BMPs? They show up as broken images in Netscape.

Interested in seeing my Elamite Archer for "Darius version 2.2"?

That's why I put the TM

Nemo, I've been dying to get a look at Alex' scen. I don't think it will ever be released

I went back to some of your other tanks to see how you drew treads, but realized that none of your WW2 tanks have any. That was the hardest part of the picture. Have you posted that picture before? If I had seen it I wouldn't have made my own.

As far as infantry like Alex, I just take a unit he's made and change it a bit. Leave the post, just add some flourishes and different colors.

I'm not a good designer, but it seems a nice handwork to me!!! I usually grab my images - bas-reliefs, books, pictures...
I grabbed a lot of historical pictures from TV once, using an luckily-arranged-on program ( a close friend of mine - an electronic engineer - made that "stuff": he asked me to test on my PC - guess what kind of pictures he wanted to grab from TV... - and it nearly fired my machine, but it worked !!!! )... but now i don't want to use that stuff once more ; i promised to my father, no more !!!!
Where can i learn to draw pictures on the Net?

If anyone is interested: I have a good assembly of colour pictures of numerous tanks and war machines as well as uniforms from the 20th century (it came with the -to me more interesting- automobiles from the catalogue of the automobile museum Sinsheim). I've gotta scan them if you want, but they might be helpful if anything's lacking.

Michael,
I do think yours is very good. I like the hand drawn pictures so much better than the scanned ones because they are more consistent. For example the HiRes package has some fantastic looking units but they look like they are taken from 30 different sources which doesn't look so good as a whole. I did quite a few scanned pictures before I realized that I spent far more time cleaning them up to the level I wanted than I would spend drawing them from scratch. Now I use a bunch of pictures as "models" but I draw it all by hand.

BTW Alex's Russian Civil War has a great collection of units AND terrain both the ToT version and the FW version... It has armored trains that work (Special trick...) I made a couple of tanks, armored cars and the trains for him... I surely hope he finishes it... If not he should at least make the units available (It would be sad to see them lost)

[Prometeus]

By the way, i snapped a Sherman from "Ardennes". If you're interested in, my e-mail is

fratelli.goddi@tiscalinet.it

I still have not a site of mine... so just ask.
P.S. I've found a way to rip-off units from "Panzer General 2"...

Said & done...

My e-mail is fratelli.goddi@tiscalinet.it .

I'm searching for mechanized artillery ( ex. German Nashorn - i'm not sure about spelling - or American Kangaroo kind ).

[St Leo]

I am really interested in those trains.
