There’s a reason motorcycles captivate artists — they’re a perfect fusion of design, power, and complexity. But if you’ve ever tried drawing one, you know it’s not easy. You need more than a cool reference or a “how to draw wheels” tutorial. You need to understand the logic behind the machine.
That’s exactly what this book gives you.
How to Draw Motorcycles book is a complete visual guide made by an artist, for artists — showing you not just what to draw, but why each part looks the way it does. Whether you're sketching a scooter, chopper, sportbike, or designing your own ride from scratch, this book gives you the tools and understanding to draw motorcycles with confidence, accuracy, and creativity.
What’s Inside?
This is not just a tutorial book — it’s an encyclopedia, a drawing course, and a design guide in one. Here’s what you’ll find:
🏍️ All Major Motorcycle Types
Standard bike, Moped, Scooter, Off-road, Adventure, Sportbike, Chopper, Cruiser, Touring
Each type broken down visually and structurally
Dimension and proportion charts for accurate scaling
🛠️All Key Components Explained
From front end to rear, engine to frame — every major visible motorcycle element is analyzed and illustrated:
Wheels, tires, forks, headlights, levers
Frame types (chopper, sportbike, off-road, scooter, etc.)
Engine layouts, fuel systems, exhausts
Swingarms, suspensions (plunger, monolever, paralever), hard/soft tails
Scooter engines, electric engines, cooling systems
Each part is introduced as a simple block — then gradually built up with detail and function, so you see and understand at every stage.
✏️ Drawing Step-by-Step
How to draw each component with clarity and depth
Complete guides for drawing whole motorcycles
Specialized sections for drawing bikes in perspective (2-point, curved, fisheye, rotation views)
Progressive refinement process — from basic shapes to final detail
How to draw from reference, from observation, and from memory
Designed for Learning and Mastery
This book makes complex machines simple. It doesn’t drown you in engineering, but shows what you need to know to draw motorcycles that feel real. You’ll learn:
To break down motorcycles into core structures
To spot visual patterns across models
To invent your own believable designs
To draw with mechanical logic, even from imagination
Riders and Interaction
Drawing the rider and passenger in correct proportion
Helmets, riding poses, how people sit on different types of bikes
Bonus chapter: how to draw bicycles with riders
Who Is This Book For?
Comic artists, illustrators, and concept designers who want to create believable, functional bikes
Beginners who want to learn both motorcycle structure and general drawing skills
Professionals who want a deep reference for design accuracy
Anyone who ever struggled to draw a motorcycle that felt right
Why It’s Different
Most books are either too technical (mechanic-level) or too shallow (just tracing the surface). This book bridges that gap. Think of it as the Scott Robertson book of motorcycles. It’s deep, structured, and fully visual. Made not just to inspire, but to build skill. Every page is drawn with care and tested for clarity.
You don’t need to be an engineer. You just need a guide that speaks your artistic language. This is that guide.
Support the Project
I’m currently preparing a limited print run (500–1000 copies) in Taiwan. To fund printing and bring this book to artists around the world, I’m launching a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo.
