My prompt for this project was to draw an instrument that was a mix of a flute, trumpet, and guitar. The main idea behind the artwork was to try to combine the unique features of all the instruments to create one distinct musical instrument. The main material used to create this artwork was graphite, specifically shading pencil. I shaded certain parts of the drawing to convey the idea that they were either the holes used to play the instrument or parts of the piece that I wanted to stand out for any reason.In order to create this piece I looked at pictures of a flute, trumpet and guitar in order to try to get the features of the instruments accurate. I tried to think about how dark I want certain lines to be in order to try to best convey realism. I really enjoyed making this piece of art!
