Colleagues, I personally love violins; I consider them one of the most delightful instruments to listen to. Today I woke up thinking that it's been quite a while since I've drawn one of these instruments, and there are so many in the game. So that's why I decided to draw the i39 Cheap Electric Violin card. This is a common card from the instrument section. As its name suggests, it's a cheap violin. This model reminds me of the ones used by the singer and violinist Lindsey Stirling. I've seen several that are almost identical to this one in her videos, and they sound incredible.
Before showing you how I made this drawing, I'm going to leave you with a music video of this artist so you can get to know her. In my opinion, she's one of the best violinists of our time when it comes to modern music. After you finish reading this post, you can tell me a little about whether you like the violin or this great artist's music. Here's the video.
Did you see that lovely video? I love how she plays. Okay, everyone, let's move on to today's drawing, which is about this beautiful instrument. First, I started by making my classic frame, which is made up of four rectangles: two inside and two outside.
Then I made the violin's neck inside the frame. It's the longest part of the violin, and it looks a bit like a machete, haha. Well, at least it did when I was making it. Haha. Once the machete—I mean the neck—was finished, I made the body of the violin. It has a slightly more triangular shape than the other models, which are more rounded. It turned out like this.
In the details section, I added many aesthetic elements, such as the tuning pegs, the violin bow on one side, and also the internal soundbox cavities along with some embellishments. And with that, it was ready for the next step.
Now it's time to paint the newly created sketch. As you can see, I painted the card in different shades of blue because it's a common color. For the violin, I used brown and black. Enjoy watching it come to life.
In the last step, I added the violin strings and the card's aesthetic details. And with this final step, the drawing is now complete. What did you think of the drawing and the singer? I'll be waiting for your replies. See you.
