Description The violin has been returned to its origin Mother Nature herself.

Just a random drawing that was inspired by a description of the strings instrument. It was *supposed* to look as if it was made out of glass... I failed. Miserably. T_T

Please don't ask why it is blue...my scanner is the one to blame. Grr!

Constructive criticism is encouraged.

Very nice idea and drawing style indeed. The shading is a bit grainy though, maybe because of the scanning, I don't know...Anyway, I particularly like the fluidity of the composition! Well done!

Thank you As for the grainy quality...both the scanner and I are to blame. I was naive at that time and didn't know that I could use a tissue to smoothen the transition between shades. Didn't even know how to shade properly lol.

I'm (hopefully) better at it now, though.

Thank you very much for the comment/critique

I can't give you much constructive critism, I really like this.
And once I red your note on it, I can see how it's made of glass

Doesn't have a violin have a chin rest and shoulder support on one side of the base? Great Job though!

Hmm, I'm no violinist, but yes, I think so. o.o

But in this case I was afraid the inclusion of those two might interrupt the melding of the base and the violin, so I eliminated them (and consequently forgot violins had them at all until now )

Thank you for commenting! ^^

This may be just the way it was saved, but you can see alot of the grain in the picture. It's a little distracting and harsh on the eyes. Also, I can't really tell where your light source is coming from. The shading seems kind of random and all over the place. I would suggest picking a definite place to have the light coming from, and then shading accordingly.

Oh...the violin was *supposed* to be made of glass, you see, and glass tends to refract/reflect light differently @__@ I think. Or maybe that's just me.

I agree about the shading, though. Will blend it with tissues later if it hasn't settled in too permanently.

Thank you for critiquing!
