In this edit I mainly revise in order to add detail. My ellipse skill is bad so I created tires in photoshop. I chose to condense my rear end design and buff up my back tires. I paid strong attention to blocking off all my surfaces to create a more tangible sketch.

Tangible sketches are great because the viewer gets a sense of thickness and weight.
Also line quality is huge for me, the more shapes and surfaces blocked off the easier the rendering job in the future. I rarely re-sketch an selected idea, once I have my starting sketch its all overlays from there out.

For me its good practice learning to focus and evolve one idea versus jumping around. As you can see the sketch is more refined and surfaces are clearly blocked over. From here I might go into a little color, Im pretty happy the way it looks.
