   This is some type of starship I'm making.

I can't get the shading right...  I still haven't put in the fire
and stuff coming out the back but the shading looks sloppy.

	I think not having the metric system is the least of our problems.

	I think one of the problems may be the 'sandpaper' type coloring you're using. Usually space vehicles are sleek and aerodynamic. Also, your lineart seems a litlle off too, in the middle of the wind there is a bump. Here, I made a quick edit: I think if you made the wings more aerodynamic and just used a solid shading structure you might find it a bit easier and more pleasing to the eye. Nice job so far, keep it up! --Maxx

	Yeah, the shape makes it look alot better, not really sure what I was thinking there. As for the shading I'm still having a bit of trouble.. should I use a gradient or what?
