i used a light table to get the basics and the rest is kinda on my own.

 nice man

 yeah i like it.

 you traced it over the existing picture [??!!] ...pointless

 read the above. got the guidelines and used a ruler to do the rest.

 Please, do not make me laugh...who uses ruler for such a basic sketches? - only kids.
Draw it freehand from life and make it look real - that would be something to show off.

 say what you want.

 Don't be a pretentious douche. Unless you are some kind of freak and can freehand perfectly straight lines with surgical precision, there is nothing wrong with using a ruler when you draw. Especially if you are drawing something as angular as a bike frame. It gives it a clean professional look, in fact I bet the engineers who design frames make their blueprints with rulers. Great sketch bro!

 My point exactly. I appreciate it bro!

 that is a sick drawing man, good job, is that the first one you ever did, you ever think about making 3d, you should look into it, you might be good,

 Coming from you Matt, that means a lot! Thanks for the encouragement!

 @bikejudge you dont know what your talking about!
nice drawing. i love my light table to get the idea of what im drawing. it helps out your freehand soo much.

 youngFR, I worked 5 years as an animator hand drawing using the light table.
Explain what is so unique about tracing on top of the existing picture as we see here?
I guess for anyone who has not got a clue about hand drawing this is what they call art.

 look at my stuff. i can get some good ideas from tracing and it helps a lot for proportion. but who knows mabey its just me.

 do you want just like a graphics design?
