The written step-by-step video tutorial:
Intro: Start off with a pencil sketch. In the beginning stages, don’t press down too hard. Use light, smooth strokes for sketching.
Step 1: Draw a circle on the left side of the paper for the motorcycle's front tire. To draw the circle, first make four small marks to determine its height and width. Then connect the marks using curved lines. If you're struggling to draw the circle, just trace the outer rim of a small, circular object like a coin or a lid.
Step 2: To the right, draw another circle for the motorcycle's rear tire. Pay attention to the space between the circles. Don't draw them too close together. Make sure the tops and bottoms of the circles line up so that the tires are on the same level. Draw the tires the same size. If you're tracing the outer rim of a circular object to draw the circles, use the same object for both tires.
Step 3: Draw a sloping line on the top, right side of the motorcycle's front tire for the first part of the side cover called a fairing. On the bottom, draw an angled line similar to a check mark for the lower edge of the fairing. At the top, close off the shape by drawing another angled line. Pay attention to the size of this shape in relation to the tires. Inside the front fairing, on the right side, draw a small rectangle for a vent.
Step 4: In the very center of the front tire, draw a small circle for the motorbike's axle. Draw a couple of sloping lines from the axle to the fairings for the motorcycle's front suspension or fork.
Step 5: On top of the tire, draw an angled line for the motorcycle's fender. Overlap the shape of the tire with the fender. Draw a line from the fork to the fairings to finish the shape of the fender.
Step 6: Inside the front tire, draw a smaller circle for the tire's inner edge. Don't overlap the fender. Follow the curvature of the initial circle. The farther away these circles are, the fatter the tire will be. Draw three lines that radiate from the axle for the tire's spokes.
Step 7: Above the side fairing, draw a small cylindrical shape for the first part of the motorcycle's handlebar grip. The handlebar grip should slope. At the top, draw a small circle for the base. To the left, draw a small rectangular shape to finish the motorbike's handlebar.
Step 8: Above the front tire, draw a shape that has a pointy tip on the left side for the front fairing. Above the front fairing, draw a small, diamond-like shape for the motorcycle's windshield. Inside the front fairing, draw a smaller, diamond-like shape for the headlight.
Step 9: At the bottom, draw a long, horizontal line for the first part of the motorcycle's lower fairing. At the top, draw an angled line to close off the shape. The shape should be similar to a triangle and rectangle fused together.
Step 10: Starting on the right side of the lower fairing, draw two long, sloping lines for the motorcycle's exhaust pipe / muffler. The muffler should overlap a big portion of the top part of the back tire.
Step 11: Draw a small circle directly in the middle of the motorcycle's rear tire for the axle. Inside the tire, draw a smaller circle for the tire's inner edge. Don't overlap the muffler. Draw two lines from the axle to the muffler for the rear tire's suspension. Draw three lines that radiate from the axle for the rear tire's spokes.
Step 12: Draw an angled line from the side fairing to the exhaust for the motorbike's frame. It's okay to overlap the tire. Add a vertical line inside, where the shape bends, to divide the frame in half. Inside the left section of the frame, draw a small half-circle for the motorcycle's engine.
Step 13: At the top, draw an angled line to finish the shape of the side fairing. On top of the side fairing, draw a long, curved, oval-like shape for the motorcycle's fuel tank.
Step 14: From the side fairing, draw a long, sloping line for the bottom part of the motorcycle's seats. At the top, add a wavy line that is similar to steps, for the rider and passenger seats.
Step 15: Inside the shape, draw a few lines for the motorbike's seat cushions and the tail light.
Step 16: Using a pen or marker, carefully draw over the lines to make your motorcycle drawing permanent. After inking, get rid of every pencil mark with an eraser.
Final Step: Color your motorcycle drawing using color pencils, markers or crayons! Use red for the fairings. Motorcycles can be green, yellow, black or any other color, so color yours differently if you'd like. Use black for the handlebar, the tires, the seats and the frame. Use gray for the rest of the bike except for the windshield and headlight. Leave a section blank to represent the shiny metal. Use light blue for the windshield and yellow for the headlight. Don't forget to pause the video to draw your motorcycle at your own pace.
