Berimbau Anime Music instrument Drawing
It has been a bit since I posted a new music instrument drawing. I have been focusing a bit on the manga and Doll Theater. I am almost done drawing the linearts and the dialogue of the new volume. Once that gets done, I am going to get started on a new Scary Cat volume. As for the drawing itself, it features a maiden wearing a nice dress while she plays the Berimbau music instrument. It is a single string instrument that was created in Africa. It is now more commonly seen in Brazil. It is typically used when fellows...
Anime Girl Playing the Autoharp
This is my newest anime drawing featuring an unusual musical instrument. This one is called the autoharp. The autoharp has the unique ability to play chords. By pressing the buttons on the front, you can mute all, but the strings you want to play. There is plenty of debate as to who invented the autoharp. Two different German inventors patented the autoharp, around the same time 1883. One was called Charles F. Zimmermann. He patented in the US in 1882. The other fellow was Karl August Gutter. He panted his autoharp in 1883, in the UK. The one that most...
Anime Girl Playing the Archlute
As the name states, the archlute is a perk higher in the lute scale and size. I thought that was a silly joke, or something. In any case, I still have more instruments to showcase to you. It is incredible just how many music instruments are there in the world. There as many as there are different types of humans. Now for a bit of history. The instrument was developed in Europe in the Renaissance around the 1600s. It is a mix between a theorbo and a tenor lute. This instrument has about 14 strings. They are tuned to play...
Anime Girl Playing the Flute
I am finally getting to drawing classical instruments. The flute comes in many shapes and sizes. Everyone is familiar with the flute. As far as popularity is concerned, the violin, guitar and piano do better than the flute. If folks decide to draw a musical instrument, the flute is rarely considered for painting and drawing purposes. I do not see why. It is a lovely, easy to draw instrument. The flute is a reed less wind instrument. The oldest flute is about 40,000 years old. It was discovered in present day Germany. Other flutes have also been independently invented in...
Anime Girl Playing the Adungu Music Instrument
This is my latest anime drawing of a maiden playing a weird looking music instrument. The adungu ,visually speaking, is a bit of a crossbreed between a harp and a drum. It has a sleek, charming design. The instrument was created by the Alur folks of Northwestern Uganda. It can have between seven to ten strings. They come in various sizes, and dimensions. The instrument is made of a hollow piece of wood, covered in leather, and woven at the center. It follows a diatonic scale. It can be played alone, or in a group. There is no standardized way...
