Its a great drawing.

But if they have guns powerful enough to blow holes in the hull, wouldnt it be safer to do so from the outside without having to board in the first place?

its all to do with the softer inner pressure hull which is hidden beneath the outer armour layer. if you're familiar with these ships, then unlike something like trek, they aren't pressurised in every area out to the edges.... Its easier to pop them from the inside.

I kind of figured that as soon as I finished typing, like an arched bridge has tremendous strength from the top, but if you were to push under the arch upwards it would crumble and fall.

Its a fascinating and detailed universe you have in your head.

Nice work! Out of curiosity why is it you like Soviet stuff so much? To be fair Soviet aircraft are way cooler than US and EU but is there something specific?

Oh, geez. I am getting a Wacom Intuos and I am left handed. I just can't pick up the pen and start drawing? I have been drawing forever and I hoped the pen and tablet would just translate it to digital...

i didn't say that! i can draw just fine with it and if you can draw just fine with your left hand then it'll translate eventually, even if it'll feel totally alien at first. but its still easier to draw accurately on paper imo because you can rotate the paper easily so you can use the natural arc of your arm to help you draw lines and curves, maybe it depends on your drawing style. however, the tablet and software is more convenient than paper and pen for a number of reasons like undo's and layers.

I use a wacom and, yes, it's weird at first because you can't just spin the tablet to make a nice line like you can with paper, but you get used to it. Just keep up the practice with it. The adaptation time to the tablet doesn't take that long; it's not like you're learning to draw all over again. All the paintings that i do for work and for my hobbies are done with a wacom. My avatar was painted using a 7 inch wacom pad. Keep it up everyone!
