The Art of Musicby ~TKraccoon

Traditional Art / Drawings / Still Life

I did this a little while ago and thought I would share it with you. I'm not sure if the shading comes out washed out or not, on my own monitor it looks perfect, but then on my laptop it looks a lot brigther. So, trust me when I say it looks good IRL regardless

This took me a few days as I was getting back into the habit of drawing again (which I have fallen right back out of) and I was very happy with how it came out. The image consists of a recorder and two seashells I had in my room which I arranged to form this still life. Thanks for looking, comments and suggestions welcome!

very nicely done - I particularly like the shading on the shell on the right - the contrast between interior and exterior is exceptional!
The only bit that seems a little off is the perspective for the end of the recorder [which I miss having mine around]. Elsewise this is a very nicely done and composed still life!

I had to do a still life in art, and letme tell you, I appreciate this piece! I never knew how hard it was to do. I myself am not to good at traditional art, I can draw buildigns, but thats about it. This is a inspiration. I love the seashells. The shadows and shading are great. Keep up youe diverse work
