In this tutorial I’ll show you how to sketch PEOPLE & BIKES with a special focus on the bike wheels and how to sketch circles.

I don’t know how I missed that you had Covid!! And yet you continued pumping out our tutorials. You are the best Scottie. I signed up with Sketching Scottie because I liked your style. Little did I know how much I would like you too!!

Scotty, I have to disagree with you about drawing the wheels for the image of the man standing with his bike. A line drawn from the top of the wheel to where it contacts the surface will always be perpendicular (90 degrees) to the ground, and pass vertically through the axle to the topmost point of the wheel. This applies whether the wheels are seen as circles or foreshortened into ovals. Don't let the angle of the front fork confuse you. The point of contact is always 90 degrees to the ground. (This is more readily seen in the photo of the man with the red jacket.) Note: I'm only a wannabe artist, but a real bike mechanic. :-)
