This isn't done yet, but it's about 2 hours worth of sketching. I decided that since I'm not very good at drawing mechanical stuff, maybe i should work on it. As you can see, it's very sketchy and not very mechanical looking yet. hopefully it'll get better as i work. Maybe i'll start a new trend of organic machinery. But anyway, i'm tired of working on it now and its late, so i'm calling it good for a night.

Sheri,
This looks quite good, actually. You are being too hard on yourself. You've cropped in on a good composition. No mean feat there.
You show an excellent command of values so far. The upper left portion of the drawing where you are adding some dark tones has great versimilitude.
Keep in mind that sketching a mechanical subject is different than doing a mechanical drawing or illustration. In either of those cases you would be using straight edges, triangles, french curves and ellipses to get every line perfect and mechanical. But in this sketch you are focusing on the right things; composition; relative scale; texture; tone.
It's a great sketch.
Check out this illustration. It's very whimsical and pretty cool. It reminds of your sketch of the forest tree village. http://mattgaser.cgsociety.org/gallery/388835/
LOL.
Sorry, i'm a posting machine today!
I can't recall if I sent you to Chris Applehans web site before or not. He was a concept artist on Monster House. Brilliant work. I think you will like it.
