Bikers



         Bob and his llama have their helmets on and are ready to roar off on another adventure, kicking up a ruckus and leaving behind a trail of dust and astonished glances.

        This illustration has taken more reference material to complete than any of my others to date. I used five  photos and advertising illustrations to figure out the motorcycle and side car, another one for the helmets and goggles, and a whole bunch more to figure out what Bob would be wearing. 1930s motorcycle jackets are really diverse, and all so stylish that I couldn't decide on one for Bob. I ended up combining features from a couple different models.

       Of all the reference pictures I used, one stands out as my favorite:
