A way into the drawing

  1. Establish the main shapes

    Place the two wheels and main frame direction.

  2. Connect the structure

    Fit the tank, seat and engine between the wheels.

  3. Develop the drawing

    Refine the clear outer contour, add only the most useful interior details and place a few small local shadows. Leave most of the paper open.

A small thing to tryConnect the front fork to the handlebar and front wheel hub.
