This is a very old drawing but one of my favorites! I took a few guitar lessons during my trip to Costa Rica and wanted to capture the magic of that amazing trip. I had my teacher set up in front of a window to get just the right light hitting the guitar and hand, took a photo in black and white, and then was able to draw this based on the photo.

Lessons learned:
– Black and white photography
– Light and shade
– Drawing realistic human hands in detail
– Setting up a model
