Ultra Classic Electra Glide

I lost count of the hours after 50.  I do feel the end coming with this one finally.  Here you can see some of the underpainting I do to get some of the subtle colors in the blacks that are so predominant in this drawing.

This is excruciatingly slow!  I'm now about 50 hours into this.  I think I'm getting a little quicker.  I know what my color combinations are going to do for the most part.  I find it very hard to keep the white areas clean no matter how often I brush it off.  With all that said I do like how it's turning out.

I bet you thought I fell off the face of the earth.  The Holidays did me in.  I have been busy doing this drawing though.  This is my husband's Harley. This is my first endeavor in colored pencil without the aid of a step by step tutorial.  Guess what, colored pencil takes even longer than graphite!  The finished areas have at least 8 layers of color. I'm more than 35 hours into this and want very badly to be done.  It's 11x14 so I have a long way to go.
