Meanwhile...

Sort of srx fan art. I conceived this as a colour scheme post, but it looks like something on its own.

It has started with drawing. For me, it is something natural to visualize and express this way. This could seems odd to someone, particularly in the age of photoshop and the 3d programmes. Classical drawing may seems laborious, demanding or, even worse, romantic :) but the way I see it, drawing is the best possible way to "grasp" the idea of the design before the work come into fruition.

New intended colour scheme is roughly the red frame plus rear swing arm, golden wheels and pearl white paintjob of the mudguard, tank and the cover under the seat.

  Pencil and markers


Pencil, watercolour

I use Lyra pencils (the best), Letraset markers, Canson and Daler - Rowney papers. The disadvantage of a classical rendition is that you practicaly can't undo any step (except of the pencil drawing) and if you work with markers, you must be really fast because of blurring.
