Illustration: cycling

If it were up to me I would ride my bike everywhere. During the summer, there is nothing that sound more appealing to me than going on bike rides with the refreshing summer breeze coming towards you. It's a great time to relax, think, enjoy nature and get inspired.
For this illustration I worked with color pencils and a touch of watercolor. Those are my two mediums of choice lately and I love using them for different illustrations. I hope you guys like this one. Do you guys enjoy cycling as much as I do?

Thank you! I have been drawing almost all my life and a great deal of what I have learned is from amazing illustrators and artists online. The internet is such a great resource to get inspired and learn from many great individuals.

Thanks for the reply!
The internet really is a wonderful resource. Do you have any favorite tutorial sites?

I am not sure precisely what kind of tutorials you are looking for but there are some great ones on Deviantart. There is everything from basic portrait drawing (which teaches great photo-realistic techniques) like this one: http://kleinmeli.deviantart.com/art/How-To-Draw-A-Portrait-130995523 to watercolors and mixed media like this one: http://auroraink.deviantart.com/art/Sherlock-Holmes-Preview-and-Steps-Tutorial-314235215
Paperfashion.net also has some really good fashion illustration tutorials. There's some truly amazing stuff. I hope this helps! :)
