Description This is tutorial on how to draw a violin.
Drawing a violin is kinda hard, but i hope this helps anyways.
If anybody has trouble with this tutorial, just asked a violinist who knows all the strings, parts, and any hidden stuff you dont know about......but if its a drawing thing, hehehe...... I worked on this very quickly.....and it was a hassel. anyways, who demanded this tutorial?

Oh my, tell me about it!
I made this tutorial back in 2007, thank you very much! : P
However, I may remake it later--I have improved since then, so ya, I appreciate the tip as a fellow violinist. ^^

LOL! XDD That's funny! I'm surprised that nobody said that yet!
Well, this is an old tutorial I made, so my art wasn't great at that time~
I should make a new revamped one.

This is very helpful. I was wondering how to draw a violin, and I came across this! It really helped! Btw, I play the viola. Playing a stringed instrument like that is really fun.

Very Nice Tutorial there are TONS of hidden things about the classical strings instruments. Trust me I play Viola, Violin, and Cello. But just some constructive criticism is proportion sizes ((You have No idea how much it helps))

-The Fingerboard ALWAYS stops at tip of the dip.
-The Neck gets smaller at the top and is just a little shorter in length then the length of the fingerboard touching the wood.
-The lower Bout is the same length just fatter then the upper bout.
-Hold the instrument up.
-You hold the instrument with a gap between your hand and the neck.
-You hold the bow: Pinky rests relaxed on the top of the bow, middle and ring finger hang over the top of the bow, and the index finger should be further up the bow.

Sorry If I sound mean.

Ah! Coolz!
Viola, violin, and cello?? All at once?? Wow!
What a musician you are!

Lolz, to be frank, I am also a musician, playing the violin and trumpet!
That's the reason why I made this tutorial: to address the proper way of drawing a violinist!
And this tutorial is really old; I might as well edit it sooner or later!

Thanks for the comment!

Ya It's a handful really to practice for all of em' but I started as a Violist.

Wow trumpet too? That's two contrasting instruments right there. But that's cool and if you make another Tutorial like this let me know!

xiao668 [2009-06-29 18:08:12 +0000 UTC]

Its very useful...but the girl is holding it wrong. Its too low. To play properly she has to hold the interment a bit higher.

MagicianCelemis In reply to xiao668 [2009-06-29 21:39:09 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, I see...This is an old tutorial, after all...
As an experienced violinist, I see that that it is too low!...
...Well, let's just say that she's a beginner on holding the instrument!

But thanks for telling me! : )
