Watch lots of Mecha anime, hyper fixate on one particular style (initially) and then expand onto others, literally start imagining sick ass fighting scenes (inspiring music is very important in that stage) and for last, try to replicate your own creations in 3D (this helps out greatly with volumes)

Such good advice thank you. Basically the path I am on it’s affirming to read. I will keep all this in mind and reflect. Screenshotted your comment. It’s fun going through all the mecha anime. Kinda using first Gundam as a starting point to start from / go backwards from.
