Description First I want to thank foxfire4000 for the beautiful reference photo! [link]

Drew with white pastel pencil on black paper (A3). I also used brushes for blending, kneadable eraser and a ruler. Takes me about 6h.

Hope you like it! Every comment or critique is highly appreciated .

I like it. To create the realistic skin does not seem to be easy without much color.

it's a bit dark (maybe because of the scanner?) but I can see that it's a very well done drawing. quite impressive the way the subtle lines of the violin are implied, leading to the musician's face that's more detailed. I think it's awesome how less sometimes really is more.

Thanks a lot for your kind words The picture was to big for my scanner so I took a photo. Sure there is some quality loss, too. The background isn't that dark, but the contrast was so bad, that I enhanced it a little bit.
