In a desperate effort to push the embarrassing Datsun further down the queue I offer this; a Moto Guzzi 850T – sketched and painted for a friend. This is drawn in sharpie and then lightly tinted with thin coats of acrylic.

No comparison! The subtlety in the Guzzi’s line work puts any tablet to shame!

I think that this says more about my lack of skill with a tablet than it’s actual usefulness…
Thanks though!!!

Nice work ! I could have sworn it was a pencil sketch (this from an old O.C.A. student). The Guzzi’s lines and proportions were sensitively handled in 1974 by the Italian designers, and translate well into a fine professional artistic interpretation.
I was very surprised to come across this, as this is our actual bike, the photo taken in our shop, with hints of the 1934 Raleigh and 1952 Rolux cars in behind.

Hi – Glad you like it! I think you’ll find that you’ll get to see it a little more closely at some point… 🙂
