Or at least I'm going to try! What is a YZR500? It's a 500cc racing bike by Yamaha. Here is a link or two on the machine:

And pics of the Tamiya model, which I'm using for a perspective reference while I sketch.

So my opening work on this will be with pencil and paper. Nothing special, just copier paper and an ordinary pencil. First attempt to establish my idea scanned:
It's got some perspective issues, this is freehand and my wheels are way off. So I cut some paper ovals to guide on my second attempt. For this second shot I also started at the front tire and worked backwards through the bike, to ensure that everything is in reasonable proportion.
It's better. I can make it work from here. Next I'll use another sheet of paper to draw a driver on, probably using my lightbox to sketch him in place on the second drawing above. Then I'll cut him out and test fit him on the second drawing to see if I like it.
