This is a commissioned drawing made for a client. This is my fist time drawing a motorcycle. The original looks much better. I lost some details/resolution in the scan.
Let me know what you think!

Great detail. The wheels aren't quite perfect, but from having done similar drawings I know that's really hard to get them just right. Yours are close enough anyways. Your contrast is excellent, and everything looks very realistic.
I did a Harely commission (pastel) a while back too! Little did I realize when I started how how detail there was going to be! I forgot to photograph it before it left me though! Guess I will just have to visit yours cause its great!!
Artist Reply: Thanks for the comment. Ya there is so much detail on these bikes. They are almost like doing a portrait. Every bike has it's own look that reflects the owner. Thanks again for the kind words.
I agree that the original must be much richer in detail and intensity. Very good drawing. I think that your client will love it. Each Harley has its own personality created by the owner.
nice to seeya jay.. sportster? had oneOthose.. excellent rendering...the front rim at 9 oclock has a slight bend from a too dark shadow i think... great job, youll have a smiling customer..
