My husband is currently doing some work on his motorbike. I should have waited until he had the seat and petrol tank cover back on. There were a lot more tricky bits to draw what with having all its innards on display. I badly misjudged the positioning on the paper and ran out of room to finish the second wheel. But I'm happy with it overall as it does look like a motorbike at least even if its not entirely anatomically correct.
You may have noticed by now that there is no theme going on for this challenge other than each piece being done in ink (so far!).
Looks like a tricky drawing Wendy but you have the bike captured really well. A huge challenge on this month not just for those doing the painting but also for those of us trying to get around to seeing everything!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lorraine, yes I am finding it very hard this time around to visit other's blogs and leave comments. I love your infusion series!
DeleteGreat drawing Wendy! Lots of detail and you do it so well!
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen! Your challenge paintings are amazing - keep them coming!
DeleteWendy, wonderful ink drawings... bravo!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Diane! I love your beautiful sunny paintings!
DeleteWonderful drawing! Reminds me that I should be boning up on drawing too! I can't believe your detail!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Kaethe! I'm sure someone who knows about bike's innards would see that a lot of bits probably don't meet up too well with other bits. I used rather a lot of artistic license on this one!
Deletethis is a super drawing Wendy, you are brave to take on a challenge like a motorbike! so many fiddly bits! my hubby finally bought a bike this year...he's wanted one for ages, so now it's time. love the drawings!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sally! Yes, I ended up just sticking bits in "wherever" towards the end as I was going cross-eyed. How exciting for your husband to finally get his bike - what make is it? My husband is into Ducatis.
DeleteI get lost in subjects with so many parts. You did a great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joan, I also got very lost in this one! It doesn't stand up to close mechanical scrutiny that's for sure!
DeleteImpressive level of the detail. Before I read your post I thought you deliberately left out part of the front wheel as it makes the motorcycle look ready to zoom off.
ReplyDeleteThanks Zoya, I'm glad the half-finished front wheel looked premeditated, I just made the best of it when I realised that it wasn't going to fit.
DeleteLove this one! I agree with Zoya! I thought you deliberately left out front of bike! I like the effect! You certainly are a busy sketcher lately! I will make effort to keep; up with your posts! Love this one Wendy!

Thanks Michael! I must say that all my best laid plans for positioning my sketches on the page have often gone awry - this being the most ill-judged - but often I can crop the photo so it looks perfectly positioned. So I'm pleased this one ended up looking premeditated.
