Ready for a new drawing, friends? If your answer is yes, you're in the right place. Today I'm bringing you a new one. This one is a little different from the previous ones I've done. I say this because this time I used markers instead of colored pencils. Drawing with them is a bit more difficult than with pencils, but the final result is much nicer. For today, I chose the musical instrument Sax-A-Boom. Before I start telling you a little about the instrument, I'm sending you my usual hug and sharing some pictures of how I started drawing it.
Let me tell you something about the Sax-A-Boom. This isn't a traditional instrument as we all know it; it's actually a toy. It's shaped like a saxophone, but it's not a wind instrument. The holes, which in reality would be the keys for directing the air, are keys. Each key is electronic and has a pre-recorded note. So, the player can create music with the pre-recorded notes without actually blowing into it.
Its beautiful colors are the most striking feature; this is one of the most artistically beautiful decks I've ever made. The colors remind me of a rainbow. Well, I drew those same colors using markers, as I mentioned at the beginning. Markers are more challenging to draw on because you can't go over the same area too many times without tearing the paper too much with the liquid ink, so you have to paint quickly and without stopping.
I'm used to always using pencils, so this was more difficult. But of course, even though it's difficult, it's rewarding to do, and being able to show it to you makes me happy. In the first four images, I showed you how I started the drawing. This initially consisted of sketching the lines of the drawing, including the deck's title and the Sax-A-Boom. Then, in the next four images, you could see part of the drawing done with the markers. And now, you can see the finished piece.
Friends, thank you for being here and looking at today's drawing. I'd love to hear if you prefer my drawings done with markers or colored pencils. I can also use both techniques. It's up to you; I'd be happy to do it. A big hug to you all, friends. You know I love you very much and always wish you the very best. Thank you.
