I decided I wanted to draw a motorcycle; a new thing for me. Typically my drawings are of people or animals. Machines always seemed…complex. But I decided to give it a go anyway. What what do you know? I was right. They’re friggin difficult. I thought the fins would kill me. That was until I got to the tread on the tyres. It doesn’t look complicated, but you try recreating that pattern on a curved shape.

Anyway, here you go: my first motorcycle drawing.
