Colleagues, blessings to each of you, I wish you all a wonderful weekend. Today I made a new drawing, it's of a guitar. This guitar is one of the most interesting I've painted here, and I've done many guitar drawings here, so when I say it's very interesting, it's because of something truly unique about it, since I have experience painting them and I've learned a bit in the process. I used the guitar from the R598 One String Bass card as an example.
What's unique about it is that it has only one string, not even three like others, just one. You might wonder how it can create notes with so few strings, and I don't judge you if you ask that question because I asked myself the same thing when I first saw it in the game. But when I researched it a bit more, I realized that it doesn't need any more. It's designed to create atmospheres in music, that is, ambient sounds. It's best if you see it for yourselves before continuing so you can understand. I'm going to leave you with an example video; see how good it sounds.
Did you see how beautiful it is? It sounds amazing. If you noticed, all that sound is from just one string; it's very versatile. It's often used in folk music to create the atmosphere that a bass, despite having more strings, can't. As you can see, sometimes more isn't better. Each instrument is designed for a specific purpose and shines in that aspect. I honestly wish I could play a guitar like that; I find it very interesting.
Okay, so let's start with the drawing, which I'm sure you're all eager to know how I made. I began by drawing the inner frame of the card. As you know, for some time now I've only been drawing the instrument and not the entire card. It turned out like this.
After finishing the frame, I drew the outline of the neck, the longest part of the guitar and the part you hold to create the extended notes. Following that, I drew the body of the guitar. It's less bulky than on other guitars because, having only one string, it doesn't need such a large soundbox, hence its shape.
In the details section I have painted its single peg and made the pegbox, which is the area where the pegs are located and where the strings are stretched.
I now present the painting process; this is where the drawing came to life and is therefore the most entertaining part to watch.
And to finish up, colleagues, here's the finished drawing. I hope you liked it. See you in the next drawing, blessings to all, have a lovely weekend.
