Saung Instrument Music Anime Drawing
Saung is a Burmese music instrument. It is the only surviving harp of Asia. This instrument comes in different shapes and sizes. The saung is typically made of lacquer, and it is decorated with cotton tassels. The instrument usually has 16 strings. The instrument was into Burma around the year 500 AD.

Scary Cat Birthday Party Anime Drawing Chibi Cute
To Get the Book: Scary Cat and Birthday Mime - Kindle edition by Blanco, Teresita. Children Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com. This is another one of the raw pages from my Scary Cat book. These days drawing or publishing books is a bit of a hobby. If it is not an item description for a Dark Souls weapon, nobody is interested in reading it. It is interesting to see the way the world is going. Well…books had a pretty good run. I even doubt if you are even reading what I am writing underneath this cute drawing. Sigh…it is hard to...
Scary Cat Playing Hide and Seek
This is one of the raw pages from my new Scary Cat book. The first part of the book features a bunch of fun activities one can do in a birthday. I tried to keep it all varied.

It is the first time he appears officially in the book plot. I thought it would be funny to have him as a background character. In the foreground, there is the birthday...

The Stroh Violin looks like the love child of the Violin and the Trumpet. All joking aside, I am going to tell you a little something about this fun looking instrument.

The instrument itself was expensive back in the old days. It was typically used...
Kutyapi Anime Music Instrument Drawing
This is my latest anime music instrument drawing. It was made with coloring pencils and fineliner pens. The Kytyapi is a Philippine two string music instrument. It belongs to the lute family. It is made with beeswax and softwood. The instrument is pretty old, and there are records of its existence as far back as the 15th century. The instrument either keeps the beat, or it can be played melodically. I hope you find this little bit of information useful. This is Teresita Blanco, the Artsy Sister. Bye, Bye and God Bless.
