Default Definitely not a car..

We've had cars, trucks, motorcycles and boats, so how about a scooter! This is my trusty scoot (summers only), drawn in XXPro wearing rose tinted glasses. I've had it for about 5 years now, and I can tell you it looks nothing like this anymore.

A good, clean, drawing - I like it.

(I detest scooters, though.)

A very nice looking scooter. I like the colors in this picture.

Very good Bob, for some reason I could never handle a motor cycle or a scooter.

I like that a lot Bob. As you pointed out I can't remember seeing a scooter on here before.

Bob, a most excellent drawing! Calming colors, clean crisp lines, and the background compliments the scooter. Good job!!!

Thanks for your kind comments (apart from Raymond's blatant scootist remark ).

I've done some drawings of this type before, but always for someone else. This is, perhaps, the first one I've done just for fun. However, 'fun' is a relative term. It takes me so long to do stuff like this (I have the attention span of a goldfish), that when I'd finished, all I could say was, "Thank goodness for that!"

In high summer in Cyprus, with temperatures in the 40's Celsius and the roads jam-packed with tourists, the good old scooter is the only way go. The trick is to wear baggy shorts and ride with legs akimbo to get a nice cooling breeze around the nether regions.

It may not be a car, but you have done an excellent job of rendering it.
