Got bored watching some movies today and decided I could put the time to practicing some sketch work. I love these types of mopeds, and at some point I'd love to get one - though I'm sure any brand and any size would have trouble hauling my bulk around at the speeds I like to travel. I have to admit - what the scanner puts on the computer is never quite what is on the page. Though it is revealing to me, and helpful to see how grainy the image appears at 600 dots per square inch.

The wheels and spokes were an absolute nightmare for me; justice is simply not done to them as I could not feel comfortable no matter what I put on the paper - I need to develop my capacity to draw circular objects, because I stink at it. Aside from that I'm more or less happy with this, and at some point I might take either colored pencils or water colors to it and add the color it deserves - the blue body and red rust marks should look nice against the stucco wall and mossy road.
