This one was a little more technical for me, but the modern (or post-modern, as the case may be) setting called for some type of motor-cycle. Having been a while since I've drawn a machine, it was a lot of fun to work out the perspective on both the buildings and the bike.
When inking architecture, there are two ways to do so. The first, and by far the fastest, is to use a ruler and some type of tech pen. Nice, strong, even lines are the result. However...I took the second approach, and that was to ink all the lines with a brush. While there does tend to be a slight variation in the "straightness" of the line, I think it gives a certain organic feel to the overall work and makes it appear more natural.

The ink wash helped to add texture, form and dimension to the relatively simple line-work. Thanks for looking!
