This is just incredible! You have left me completely speechless. By far this is the most accurate sketch/drawing of a violin I have ever seen because I always caught the mistakes with the instrument looking too short or the pegs are off or the f-holes just weren't quite right.

Honest to Schumann and swear on Mozart's name, when I first saw this in my message box, I thought it was a photograph! I absolutely love the shading and the texture. The way you portrayed the details of the wood is amazing because violins being known for their handcrafted beauty, the drafting for their wood is quite important I say. This is very realistic, the body, the neck and the "bird's eye view" of the bridge is fantastically drawn. Another factor that I love shading of where the finger placement sticker was supposed to be, it makes the violin appear used and played, which I think adds a lot to the meaning of the drawing.

Anyway, great work and keep it up! I know this was an incredibly positive critique, and I hope to see more of your drawings soon, yes?
