Update | Sketch refinement of the body

The latest sketches made over the last few days, to check the body refinements that will be made this weekend on the clay model.
A rather quick and dirty tool is to pick some photo's from the clay model, from the right angle and perspective, drop the visibility in Photoshop to 10% and sketch over it with a black pencil. I printed quite a few shots, and sketched during our holiday in the Spanish sun!
Basically I am looking for the right lines of the lower part of the tank-seat. This will be a fairly straight line, giving this ride its forward leaning character and the feel of a true café-racer!

Update | a glimpse of the body..

Just a few "spy shots" of the body design. I am progressing slowly with the clay modelling job, due to a lack of time... In the meanwhile I am planning the next steps, towards mold making.

Keep in touch to follow the next phase, soon on this blog!
