New Tank Sketch

I'm trying to improve my perspective drawings...so I sketched a tank. Any constructive criticism is appreciated, though granted, I think this needs A LOT of work. Anyhow, enjoy:

It's nicely drawn, but it does seem as though it has no movable turret.

It looks like it can move up and down, but not side to side

you're such a great artist. I'm serious!
now about the tank...
It does appear, as others have stated to have no movement iun the turret as far as rotation goes. it also appears to be longer than many tanks, and somewhat shorter.
Is it like a special purpose tank?

Thus it is Self-Propelled Artillery or a Tank Destroyer, not an actual tank. It does look good though.

Looks wider then it is longer, which most modern tanks (if the neat pics in Jane's Tank guide are to believed) tend not to be. Good design though, especially if the turret moves.

Um-even not accounting for perspective that vehicle is definitely longer than it is wide.
Assuming the fixed turret is intentional, nicely done, TMK.

Thanks guys, the turret is supposed to rotate...I'll make some changes.
