I agree, great sketches you have here! You are, as Ben pointed out, obviously very detail-minded, considering the amount of component sketches you have.

I agree, as well, that perhaps there is a bit too much going on for one composition. Perhaps if it were broken down into a series of smaller compositions, with perhaps a few smaller detail views pertaining to the main subject matter (i.e. a larger dash view, with smaller views detailing gauge layout/placement, controls, etc), you'd be right on.

Further agreeing with Ben (geez--if you ever have one of those days when you feel the world's against you, Ben, read this post, and know that a fellow East-coaster has your back!), I'd concentrate on using line weight to further help deliniate surfaces, and give more depth to your drawing.

It shows a lot of thought, and you can really see the final concept developing over a series of re-works, which, in my opinion, is just killer to see! It's like the old masters would work on canvas, building up layers to arrive at the final destination. It's awesome to see someone's thought process on paper like this! Thanks for sharing it!
