A way into the drawing

  1. Establish the main shapes

    Place the deck and two wheels.

  2. Connect the structure

    Join the steering stem to the front wheel and handlebar.

  3. Develop the drawing

    Use selective interior marks and local shadow groups to explain the overlaps. Keep the lighter planes open rather than shading every surface.

A small thing to tryKeep the front fork connected to the wheel axle.
