Bicycles. I know caricaturists that won’t draw them. These are the party caricaturists who do little cartoon bodies featuring the subject’s hobbies or jobs. Bicycles, they sometimes say, are too tricky to draw.
I’ve loved bicycles for a long time, and have drawn and painted a bunch of them. I’m really happy when a kid says, “Draw me on a bike.”
On the other hand… drawing a bike over and over again in a comic strip is tedious.
But I’m kinda happy to do it, even if the chainrings aren’t exactly round or toothed convincingly. You guys probably don’t mind, right?
