Mastering Motorcycle Art: Expert Drawing Techniques by Gene Bond

This is the book I wish I had when I started.

Whether you want to sketch a vintage chopper, design a futuristic electric scooter, or just understand how motorcycles work so you can draw them properly — this is your complete guide.

From wheels to windshields, forks to fuel tanks, this book gives you the whole picture. I break down motorcycles into simple blocks, show how each element fits into the bigger structure, and teach you how to draw them from any angle — with clarity, accuracy, and style.

Inside, you'll find:

• A full overview of the most common motorcycle types — from standard bikes and sportbikes to mopeds, scooters, cruisers, and choppers.

• Detailed breakdowns of all key components: wheels, forks, engines, frames, swingarms, suspensions, handlebars, headlights, and more.

• Explanations of complex systems like carburetors, transmissions, fuel injection, electric drives, and engine layouts — all made artist-friendly.

• Step-by-step guides for drawing every part, plus full bikes in perspective (even fisheye, low horizon, and curvilinear setups).

• Clear process techniques like progressive refinement, sketching from memory and observation, and using references properly.

• Guidance on drawing riders, understanding scale and dimensions, and even designing your own motorcycles from scratch.

I’ve created this book for artists who want to go deeper — to understand the machine, not just draw its surface. You don’t need to be a mechanic. You just need a solid method, clear explanations, and the right mindset: one that treats technical challenges like creative riddles.

This isn’t a dry manual, and it’s not just a beginner’s tutorial. It’s a working artist’s companion — whether you’re illustrating comics, designing vehicles, or building worlds with motorcycles in them.

If you’ve ever wanted to draw motorcycles like a pro — this book is for you.
