OBLIGATORY VIOLA DISCLAIMER: I have never in my life played or been instructed by a professional to play a viola! I tried my best, but I am not a good reference for a perfect playing stance/position/etc. If you want to make sure your artwork is 100% super accurate to how this instrument should be played, I recommend you do additional research.

Note:
Nowadays, most people use a shoulder rest when playing the violin or viola. You may want to use a shoulder rest next time you take a shot with a viola or violin, as it is much more comfortable and easier to adjust, as well as preventing slipping. Many people use a KUN, but that's expensive, and since you're only doing this for ref shots and stock, I'd go for a contoured sponge or just a plain towel.

I sell some stock as advanced download packs from my website, SenshiStock.com but they are all for a limited time. However, all the images from the packs will eventually be posted in the gallery.
Were you looking specifically for more viola/violin images, or just more poses in general?

Just a note for artists going for authenticity- you play both a violin and a viola sitting on the very edge of your chair, and with a device called a shoulder rest on the bottom of the instrument- playing without a shoulder rest is horribly uncomfortable!! Otherwise, fantastic ref!!

That alright in the first years I play I didn't have A shoulder rest until one day at a music camp/summer class for fun they told me, I need one because itll help you play better and it did work till it keep falling off when playing and then got a new one and it broke and then when Back to the one I liked and didn't have a promble since then xD but yeah I love to play so how long you been playing I been playing About 8 years I think :3 and still need improvement xD but better then before :3

Oooh I can't play at all. xD I just rented it as a prop for stock. ^___^;; That's awesome though!! I am sure it's a challenging instrument. I played the flute for a week in jr high and then I did some percussion stuff, but when I got to HS they wouldn't let me write the notes in over the sheet music so I quit and joined the color guard lololol >_> /lazysakky

Oh, ok :3 i use to rent my for years and then my mom got a discount on my viola i have now an it was about 500 or 800 dollars and its a nice viola....
Actually it easy, but once you get into "third PosTIon" that tricky because you havE the violin notes, which are different completely it looks the Same if you put them side by side on notes but actually it a higher octave(?) then ours, we're consider the background noise, the woman's voice, or 3rd violin and I think that it =_= but we do get our moments once In while, but people don't realize how different we are from violins because we kinda have the body of a violin and the strings of a cello xD that the best way of how I describe the viola :3 and ps I used To play recoreder before I played viola x3

Great! First couple days of high school are cool but already have homework.. Then again it is from Ap and honors classes
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow o.o your ap and honors student wow you must be really smart
lol I wasn't in those do to being a "slow learner" but had help and was able to get into normal classes at least
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not that smart but I am trying to improve my intelligence through those classes. For me, things can be very simple for me to learn but then after going over it it's difficult specifically for directions for some reason.. Like, I understand it, then I don't.
