Blessings, everyone! Today I'll show you my most recent drawing, created from one of the elegant cards in the game. It's of the R555 Green V7. I'm struck by the number 5 on it, lol. This electric guitar is quite different from the others we've seen in various drawings, like yesterday's drawing of another electric guitar I did. I say it's different because of its shape—it's V-shaped. They're not something you see every day; in fact, I'd say they're quite rare in today's music.
It was more common back then, especially when it was created a long time ago. You know, the '60s-'90s. This guitar had its heyday back then, not referring to the exact model in the game, but to V-shaped guitars in general. Guitarists really liked them in those years because they were futuristic, and bands that used them were seen as being on a higher level. That's why almost everyone wanted one, and they were super common to see.
Today, some still see it as a futuristic guitar, and it's still used, though less frequently. Others like it for its comfort, because its V-shape makes it easier to flex the arm to play the lower strings. Before we continue, I'll show you an example of a song played on this type of guitar so you can see what they look like and how they sound. Then we'll move on to the drawing.
Now that you've seen the video of the guitar, let's get to the drawing. This guitar has some lovely green colors that I added both to the background, since it's the predominant color, and to the guitar itself. I started the drawing by creating the inner frame of the guitar. It turned out like this.
After creating the frame, I drew the guitar's neck and then its V-shaped body. I did both in Adobe Illustrator. See how they turned out.
In the next step, I added the tuning pegs, which in this case are six. And with that, the sketch was ready for the next step.
What comes next is the painting. As you can see, this is how I painted everything. I started with the background, then the frame, the interior background, and finally the guitar. See how I applied each color in the following screenshots.
And to finish, here's the final result. See you in the next drawing.
