#inktober day 2: lute? mandolin? dulcimer? ???

Hello, dear readers! :) Conference is over and it was amazing and I will probably be lettering some quotes from it soon, but for today here's a drawing of a girl playing a . . . string instrument of some kind. I'm not really sure what it is (I really should google it one of these days).


I started taking some process pictures, but the whole coloring idea did not exactly go as planned. So here's what I've got! 


Pencil sketch


Inking . . . 


. . . aaaand . . . inked!


Right after this one is where things started to go south, because I tried to color her skin peach, but it came out a very offensively bright sort of orange. (I'm not showing you that one because I don't want to give anyone nightmares! :P ) But that was the end of my grand coloring scheme :) I do want to try some more colored pieces in the future, though.

Have a lovely week, readers!

    I like it - especially the flow of her sleeves! And, I did google it and I think it's a lute! 😆 Nice job!

    It's stunning without color, so I think it worked out :D and I think that might be a Lute but don't quote me or anything ;P
