Groundbreaking site and upcoming book teach artists worldwide to draw motorcycles with mechanical accuracy and creative freedom — a resource unlike anything available before.
(Isstories Editorial):- Austin, Texas Aug 8, 2025 (Issuewire.com) – Artist and educator Gene Bond has launched HowToDrawMotorcycles.com, a dedicated hub for the coming release of his book How to Draw Motorcycles–a deep, structured guide built for artists. The project closes a long-standing gap between dry technical manuals and surface-level art tutorials, teaching creators to draw motorcycles accurately, think like designers, and invent believable machines.

“Ever since reading Akira, I’ve been captivated by motorcycles,” says Bond. “I learned fast that you can’t draw a bike authentically without understanding how it works. Artists don’t need every bolt number–but we do need the structure: what connects to what, what defines the silhouette, where the weight sits. Once you grasp that logic, you can analyze any model and design your own–whether it’s a vintage café racer or a futuristic cyberpunk e-bike.”
What Makes the Book Different
How to Draw Motorcycles blends mechanical understanding with clear drawing methodology, so artists can go beyond copying photos to drawing from memory, rotating forms in perspective, and building original concepts for comics, games, and vehicle design.
Inside the book (selected modules):
-
Motorcycle Types & Elements — A visual map of bike families and core parts.
-
Wheels & Front End — Tires, tread, brake discs; handlebars, levers, headlights; forks and alternative systems: springer, girder, leaf-spring, Hossack, Telelever, hub-center steering.
-
Frames — Chopper, standard, moped/scooter, off-road, sport, cruiser frames.
-
Engines & Systems — Engine block, alternator, starter, transmission; carburetor vs EFI, cooling, exhaust, fuel tank; layouts from 1-10 cylinders, scooter and electric.
-
Rear Suspensions — Hardtail, softail; Pro-Link, cantilever, BMW Monolever/Paralever, Halcyon 450 style.
-
Cables & Fairings — Practical routing and silhouette control.
-
Drawing the Whole Motorcycle — Progressive refinement, drawing from memory, MOTO CONSTRUCTOR workflow;
-
Advanced Perspective — 3 point perspective, curvilinear and fish-eye perspective.
-
Rider & Passenger — Helmets and posing.
“I’m not a motorcycle engineer–and you don’t have to be one either,” adds Bond. “This book gives artists the logic to see the machine, not just trace it. It’s a comprehensive, artist-first roadmap.”
