Oh, and the f-holes and anything else isn't supposed to be shiny and isn't shiny like that in real life. Damn glare from the flash. "¬¬

Enjoy! :3

Wow... That was cool! It's so difficult to draw people playing musical instruments. Great job!

Maybe I did? He liked it; that's all that really matters. Haha . . . um . . . I outlined the strings then shaded around them very carefully? I used an eraser, too.

Meh . . . I've tried using different pencils, it doesn't turn out as well most of the time. Besides, this is a horrid picture of a drawing, so . . . it's not exactly as it appears. Thanks, though!

Well, it all comes with experience, I still struggle a bit when it comes to selecting different pencils for different purposes. Talking about the appearance, prolly your scanner didn't scan well. (try scanning at 300dpi and in Greyscale/B&W photo mode for better results, or adjust the mode to Greyscale in Photoshop incase if you got it scanned in RGB mode) You're welcome.

I didn't scan it. This is a photo taken by my digital camera because my computer and scanner no longer talk with each other. Not to mention, I don't have Photoshop or any of the various forms of it. My scanner would've done a much better job, no doubt. Thanks for trying to give me tips, though!
