A way into the drawing

  1. Align the wheels

    Draw two equal circles with their centers on the same horizontal guide. Leave one wheel-width between them.

  2. Connect the frame

    Use two joined triangles to build the frame, then add the fork, handlebars, and seat.

  3. Fill the basket

    Place a small basket above the front wheel. Add a few loose flowers and simplify the spokes.

A small thing to tryCheck the wheel alignment early. A light pencil guide makes the final ink lines much easier.
