DIGITAL DRAWING: In this contest you will have to digitally draw a musical instrument. It can be a real or a fake one, a result of your imagination in any style and shape that you want it to be, as long as it is clearly visible that it can produce musical notes.
You can go crazy with this idea, like making your instrument molten or broken or you can keep it simple and realistic. Good luck!

fumoffu89: could I include any people in this contest? ( 5 years and 3567 days ago )
jaescoe21: @ fumoffu89: Yes you can but your main focus should be on the instrument. like if you wanted to have someone playing the guitar, try to make it to where its cropped at the hands so it looks like this http://www.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/1128254/2/istockphoto_1128254-acoustic-guitar-player.jpg if you want to do something else ( 5 years and 3566 days ago )

Howdie stranger! If you want to participate in this contest, just:
everything looks good, but I don't really like that you drew everything and then distorted it. It would have been nice if you drew it at this angle. The numbers look exactly like the fonts. But overall it looks good. gl

Thanks for the comments Reason I draw first then distort is because I don't have a tablet. Drawing with a mouse can be very annoying.
Learning Big Time.. author.. after the contest you MUST rewrite the SBS into a tutorial..some moola though not big bucks but you would earn a LOT of respect for people trying to figure out how to do this kinda stuff... (I've already learned a ton and it's a simple SBS at this time)
Seems like now you really like doing the realistic stuff , this time it's very nice again. The only thing is somehow the white button right to the hand looks a bit curved. Can you play piano? I love it too ^^
Photoshop CS3 5 hours
I used a combination of quick vector shapes and simple brushes. Some pen tool for the contours, etc. Hope you like it! (5 years and 3562 days ago)
I decided to draw a guitar I saw in a dream of mine. Instead of a circular hole in the center it had a crescent shape hole. (5 years and 3568 days ago)
beautiful Perspective.. just lovely!!! (love the height) the crescent hole is a great unique touch (now I want to hear it to see what effect it would have)... I would like to see you add the pick guard though.. It's always fun to look at Guitars pick guards.. especially if they are made with marbled plastic.. hehehe.. (I'm weird that way)
well done!
