Let me teach you how to draw mini bike wheels

[SteveSS]

In drawing anything circular in perspective use an ellipse. There is a major axis and the minor axis. The minor axis should be parallel to the vanishing point used by the front of the seat, the axles etc. Ellipses come in differing degrees from 10-90. 90 is almost a circle.

I just take the mini bike wheel and put it on a piece of white paper and trace it............

Tippycanoe has the right idea, too! I used Corel Draw since I have no Bonanza wheel.

Okay. If you draw an ellipse on paper draw a line through the tallest part of the ellipse. That's the major axis. Now draw a line through the widest part making a cross-haired shape inside of the ellipse. The second line is the minor axis. That line should be at the same angle as the cross-bars of the handle bars the front of the seat etc.

The only reason I mention this is because the wheels on the mini bike in the logo are wrong. The wheels look out of whack with the rest of the bike.

I never cared for painting with Bob Ross but the German guy before him was awesome.

OR It has a 6" on the front and a 5" on the back....
