Hand-colored with colored pencils and markers: R496 Old English Horn
Friends, today I was painting a very interesting instrument from the game called Old English Horn. You can find it identified by the code R496 in the game's instrument section. It appears to be an English horn, probably because it's old, as the instrument's name suggests. It looks a lot like a flute because it has several holes, just like flutes do.
I like the deck itself for its somewhat understated tone; it doesn't have many colors, but that doesn't mean it's boring. In fact, that's what makes it special. Its white color with a red stripe down the middle gives it a minimalist and elegant look. Sometimes showing more doesn't mean it's more beautiful, and in this case, it's perfectly true because it looks spectacular with so little.
What catches my eye about the trumpet is that it has a sort of hump in the center. I don't know if they actually exist like that or if it's just a fun feature of the game. In any case, if you know more than I do about this, it would be great if you could explain it in the comments so everyone who reads this post can understand why it has that hump in the center. I speculate that it's there on purpose to make it more comfortable for the player.
Friends, as always, I'm going to give you a quick rundown of how I made the drawing, explaining what you've seen in the images up to this point. I used a blank sheet of paper I had at home to sketch the title of the instrument, which I then boxed in with two lines, one above and one below. After that box was done, I drew the base and the trumpet in the middle of that base of the deck. I went over everything with a marker to make it look nicer.
The coloring with colored pencils was next. I used a white pencil to create a base color, then I used brown on top to create shading. If I had only used white, the color wouldn't show up, so the shading is important. The rest of the work is shown in the images. And now, you can see the highlighting of each edge with a black marker.
Friends even saw the finished piece and some of the materials I used. It was a great pleasure painting the Old English Horn. I hope to return tomorrow with a new drawing. Have a good day and send you all a hug.
