My conclusion - not to spoke. As Dan pointed out, spokes look slow, so maybe I’ll include them on rare occasion that bikes are at rest. So...pretty much never. I’m pretty happy with this color scheme and treatment for #MajorTaylor and his default kit. Heck, I would love to have a #panafrican themed jersey and bibs myself! The #graphicnovel covers his life from about the age of eight until his death in 1932 (coincidentally the year my father was born) at fifty-four so there will be a range I’ll have to work up. I’ll share them if it doesn’t feel too “inside baseball”. The bicycles are practically characters in the story. As a #bikenerd I have to keep from going overboard on the presentation. For a number of years Taylor raced #crankshaftdrivenbikes, not the more familiar chain-driven one pictured. We’ll get into that soon enough. #comics #drawnandquarterly #wip #blackhistoryisamericanhistory #graphicnovel #blackartist #colorstudy #colorsketch #oilpastels #carandache #blackcartoonist #majortaylor https://www.instagram.com/p/CL7Gu-ODJwu/?igshid=1emaugwtutw83
