Love that #51 bike. Looks like something out of an anime flick.

good stuff, a lot like my own sketches (minimalistic, motor as stressed member etc)

just WAY better quality. wish i could draw like that.

only issue i see is they wont work.. least number one wont; hit a bump, and that motor is getting torn out of the frame.

yeah the first one is a bit sketchy, but I likes how the frame was going I would like to have some help to understand the physics involved with frame

my doodles arent near this good.

Looking good! open them up in an image editor (even something as simple as Microsoft Office Picture Manager) and crop them down to a reasonable size. If you have Photoshop or something fairly equivilent (Doesn't Google have something?) You can spend some time drawing out some nice wire wheels and tires that you can scan then just drop behind sketches to finish them out quick. If you end up in design school one thing that's drilled into you is all your' sketches having pop, all the nice groundwork is there in the work you've done, but it loses emphasis when it's all a similar tone. A super simple trick to make something pop is to outline it with a nice bold line (it's kind of a cheap designer shortcut that I use all the time) Like this:

Never stop drawing, when you're working full time and supporting a family you'll want nothing more than more time to dedicate to it.
