I really wish I had the ability to create something like this, it always takes me way too long to come up with ideas of how to draw a vehicle! The colours and shape are great
Again apologies for not replying sooner.
Two good ways of starting to create a vehicle is to play around just by scribbling first on a sketch pad. I find that helps alot because it gets your ideas out imediately onto paper, without clicking to different brushes or filters etc. With this you are not looking to get a perfect image but as you continue over time you start getting some interesting forms and you start to see interesting shapes or textures. Another way is to play around with a series of shapes on PShop. Play around with the oppacity. As you overlay the shapes forms appear. A book I recommend is by Doug Chiang called "Mechanika" In there he shows you some invaluable techniques of working with strong silloette.
Of course referencing/sourcing pictures of everyday machinery i.e. jet engines, building/road machinery is a good way of getting ideas for detail and shape. Dont copy it verbatim but sketch shapes and forms from the imagery you observe.
Good luck.
