Ive stopped and started working on this drawing three different times in the past few weeks for about 15-30 min each time and finally finished it up...now im passing it in as homework tomorrow.
The biker and bike aren't bad. It's just that they're a little too geometric. If you're going to use speedlines, I think just do them clean, no coloring between the lines. It's too distracting from the picture.
Id agree that the biker is a bit generic and geometric, I really didnt intend on finishing this piece for that very reason. But when I had to turn something in for my drawing class that depicted motion I cleaned up the biker a little bit and threw in the speed lines to achieve the motion effect. By the time it was finished I was pleased with the overall pic but by far its not my best work.
finch, I think whats distracting about the speed lines is the fact the graphite isnt a consistent value. If I were to ink this and fill in the lines 100% black would you still fnd it distracting?
