Description

It is so hard to decide when a drawing is just FINISHED. I've been fussing and nitpicking at this for weeks, but I think I'm finally (momentarily?) content. I experimented with leaving parts of my original sketch visible, which is not something I usually do in a finished piece. I rather like the effect-- what do you think? (If anyone is interested, that sketch can be seen unobstructed on my sketch blog, here.)

His instrument is mostly a mishmash of mandolin & lute, with long tuning pegs inspired by a yueqin. The longer I look at it, the more I realize that it has some interesting perspective problems going on. Hmm. Or maybe it's MADE like that. My made-up instrument, my rules.
