What you will learn
Practice electric bicycle with attention to front basket and rear wheel cover.
Shapes and proportions
Fit the small basket above the front wheel and curve the large rear cover around its tire.
A common mistake
A basket crossing the handlebar hides the steering shape.
How to fix it
Place the handlebar first and leave the basket below its top curve.
This electric bicycle study focuses on front basket and rear wheel cover. Fit the small basket above the front wheel and curve the large rear cover around its tire. The exercise is about keeping these visible shapes readable before adding small marks or color.
These are four selected stages, not a complete stroke-by-stroke sequence. Blue guide lines mark additions in the source images. Compare the pictures for the overall shape changes; use the complete LittlePaper lesson for the smaller steps between them.
A few things to start with
Paper, a pencil and crayons matching the example. Leave room around the drawing for proportion checks before making the outlines darker.

Crayon color: pink, soft gray, warm orange
Use the colored electric bicycle example to compare the palette after checking the outline. The visible palette includes pink, soft gray, warm orange. Keep repeated parts consistent and let small light flecks preserve the crayon texture.

A little practice goes a long way
Make room for your own ideas.
The example uses pink, soft gray, warm orange. Keep matching limbs and repeated parts in a consistent palette. Use light overlapping crayon strokes so the inner outlines stay visible. Place the handlebar first and leave the basket below its top curve.
