Project for my art class. We had to draw a close-up of an instrument still life using the cross-contour line technique. It made me so dizzy xD Done in Sharpies which gave me a nice headache. Took a week & a half. Please ignore how skewed the edges are, it was too big to fit in our scanner so I had to photograph it. -.-;


^thumbed, please click^

That looks really cool, I like the left side better than the right. It reminds me of something we had to make in Middle School using sharpies and all those lines.

Wow, this looks very cool! Not sure if you're looking for critique but I noticed that the bridge is a little lopsided and the F-hole is a little small. Anyway, have to give this a thumbs up. thumbsup.gif

wow! I love it! I wish you had done more detail/ smaller lines with the background so that the instruments would pop-out more.

Yeah, I realized that thing was off once it was too late :[ What's the F-hole? Bah, I know nothing about instruments xD

I was actually thinking about doing that. The instruments do pop out a little more in real life though, some of it's just from bad contrast in the photograph. But I think I might still add a bit more detail in the background.

Nice background pattern. I usually get lazy and I don't complete the background. I have issues with completing art projects. I'll be like 90% done and i won't want to finish the 10% so yeah.

Nice _smile.gif

Wow, that's cool

I thought it was the back of a Zebra at first laugh.gif

I like how it really pops out at you - although if maybe the background was a little less dominating and blending with instruments it might pop out a bit more, as someone else mentioned I think.

Either way though, good job thumbsup.gif
