Very Nice! Clean lines, crisp contrast, accurate detail and Great perspective!
Bikes are way harder than cars! so much intricate detail and the contrast of finishes. The cracked ground really finishes it off.

Beautiful job on my favorite ol' classic, the "Pan head." I KNOW exactly the work involved in a piece of work like this. 70 to 80 hours is just about exactly the time I spend also on my bike drawings. And I too do most of them on 16"x20" paper. I've done 20 so far. 19 with ballpoint ink pens & 1 with pencils. I really love the cracked earth effect you've added. And the reflection OF the cracked ground on the exhaust & mufflers. It really impacts the focal point. It inspires me to do more to the foreground/background on mine in the future. Usually I am burnt out on the piece by the time I finnish the bike I just throw a little shadow under it and call it done. But this piece has opened up a whole new understanding for me. I will be kicking around some ideas for my next drawing. Thanks for the spark... I needed it

Oh yeah, oh yeah!
This bike rocks!
I like the composition with the bike filling the picture plane at an interesting angle. The cracked earth is a great added touch, and a great contrast to the smoothness of the bike.
Your proportions look good, and you really nailed the look of the bike.
You have a beautiful range of values here. And once again great use of value changes to show the planes and contours of the body.
It's another sterling piece of work!

Thanks man. I spent 70+ hrs on this one. More than double the amount of time it takes to do a car.
I actually just finished another one today. Should have it up this week.
