Here is the first edition of my DAK Soldaten. The only things that I failed to get done in time was dust goggles and pith helms, which will be done shortly. Wanted to at least get them out before the summer was up.
Just a heads up, this sheet is in AS3.0 format. The only flash I have is Flash Pro CC, and I can't save sheets in AS2.0. If you can't open an AS3.0 then here is a .swf version instead.
Now, on to the extra gubbins
The Messer, the civilian equiveland of the Falchion, and the SKS. the Commie rifle that saw limited service in WW2.

This is a bit of a long story, but to cut it short I'm a history buff and I'm getting into DAK reenacting. I'll be at the next WW2 Weekend at Jacobsburg PA in full uniform even. I get the designs for how everything should look by doing an insane amount of historical research. I've used references in some places and my own memory in others.
As for tips on drawing and art in general, I'm probably the last person to ask. My own drawing books are filled with sketches and art from years gone by, It's honestly all practice and honing your craft. I don't own any fancy equipment for digital art, all I do is get a drawing book, quality pencils -usually Staedtler- a good sharpener to go with (it's amazing how many shitty sharpeners there are on the market, like jeez.), and a drawing book and simply sketch whatever comes to mind.
Every artist will hate their own work, that's kind of a given. You've just gotta use that to drive yourself to improve.
