Ugggggh...I feel like I draw like a kid...and I suppose in some senses that is true.  I know I just need to put more time into things, but this is part of my issue with drawing in the first place...I know I should be better than I am currently because I should have put in the time.  Only have myself to blame :/

Anyway, haven't really drawn a motorcycle before so wasn't 100% sure how to go about it at the beginning.  I aimed for the bigger shapes but neglected the volume of the shapes at first which bugged me and then I realized I still can't free hand a decent circle so I shall put that on the list of things to work on. 

I know I have been neglecting details in most of my pictures thus far and that may continue because I think it is more important to just "doodle" something and post it to get the habit built in and then I just build upon time and "quality" from there.

  1. Try to end all your critiques about yourself with a positive. "I know I should be better than I am. . . because I should have out in the time. Only have myself to blame." Its a new day and you're recommitting your time to this. So instead of all this should be and blame, it needs to be I'm not that good now, but if I do the following steps I will get better in time.

    As far as the drawing goes, cars and motorcycles are tough. Why? Perspective. Not only that but there are these great curves throughout the body of the car and guess what? They're in perspective. Don't be too harsh. Maybe focus on different parts of the bike, wheels, body etc. Or watch a time lapse of someone drawing cars.

    This is Chip Foose, a car designer. Guess what? He roughs out a drawing then traces over it. And he's been doing for over 10 years. Don't be too hard on yourself and start believing that you can get better by making a smart plan and following through.
