Guitar - Details

Good evening/morning everyone,

I don't have anything new to show yet (art-wise), so I decided to be very unoriginal and post a new Details image.


Since it's my second to favourite drawing of mine, I decided to post some close-ups (zoomed-in at least 5x !!!) of my drawing:

---> Play with Me <---

...which I made as a gift for one of my very, very awesome brothers:




(He and I are going to Los Angeles & New York end of March/first week of April. Damn straight we are!)

...Oh boy! Here some drawing secrets!...

Since I had barely drawn anything else but portraits, I had no idea how this was going to turn out.


<sub>Wooden texture
The wooden texture was extremely hard to capture with pencils. Oh my, I got headaches!

I first drew a light layer with an H pencil. For the shapes of the texture I took an HB + B pencil. After I had drawn them I blended them carefully. Recolored the parts, blended them, recolored them, blended them... until I liked the result! It's just a matter of patience (and faith) to get a nice result.



Guitar strings
The strings seem very complicated to draw, but I guarantee they're not! I first used a ruler to draw straight thick lines and then I used an eraser to create a very thin white line on top of the strings. Yup, that's all!


Secret revealed!</sub>

Oh, what will it be!!!
