EDM #35

#35 is to draw a bike or part of one.
I did start to draw a bike that was propped up against a house across the street, then I was visiting Dianne's Blog http://magpiesenvy.blogspot.com and she had a picture that she had taken of a Penny-Farthing while out one day and though it would be fun to sketch that instead.
I will post my pretty poor original attempt later, If I can get it right. lol
Oh, and I was going to use this as my draw something round challenge, but as you can no doubt see, (Is it ROUND? NOT!!!!!!!!.)

But of course the more I attempted to make it round, the bigger the tires got. Alas...... I just might have give this another try.
I used my new graphite pencil only, then my blending stump.

It looks great. They are such intricate things to draw and you've done a great job! I'm really enjoying looking at your drawings!

I think the bike is great too, drawing lines and circles free hand are not to easy...

Thanks for stopping by, I actually did the spokes freehand, and the wheels too. (hehe) Circles? not good.... Lines better. lol

Carol

Tonniece, this is spectacular! The spokes are so detailed and intricate. Did you get cross-eyed from drawing them? ;)

Hi Luci

Now that you mention it, I was going a bit cross-eyed. lol
