Sick mechs dude, your industrial designs are frickin awesome, which is kinda refreshing to see because its prity rare these days.

Any advice on a noob beginning to learn to draw mechs? I would'nt even know where to start =p

I'll keep an eye on this thread, your skbk is really sweet.

Well try to start from simple box shapes and once you have the overall proportions continue detailing, adding more complexity to these boxes. Remember that joints have more details than the main hull, so in this way you'll have two different "materials".

Here's a quick walkthrough i did for Rockonguy last week:

well I'd like to be helpful and give advice but i dont know jack shit about mechs. Er..maybe try some studies from life and photos to work on your material rendering skills?. Also decals and stickers...people love that shit on mechs....specially when its bunnies and skulls

post 66 is pretty darn useful!
beyond that, is it possible to share how you plan your compositions?

Well to be honest i suck at composition, but i usually start doing some small thumbnails about the composition, then i pick the one i found interesting and define the vanishing points for the perspective.

Hope it helps!
