That's all I have on my monitor, too.

Shoot. I did that in a hurry before I ran off to work. Let's see if this link works...

Thanks. I had to draw this one twice. I got the first one completely finished before my eyes were opened to a perspective flaw. :( It was just bad enough that I couldn't stand it at all, so I started over. I've never had to do that with a drawing after I'd already finished it, but I knew that any violinist would see right away if something wasn't quite right.

Right now, I'm learning a lot about colors and shapes and their musical application. It's neat--when I take a practice break between drawings, the music reminds me of art. As I play, I see contours and repetition, highlights and shadows, browns and blues... Lots of great ideas coming now.

Most people casually seeing this here would just think it was a photo. I did until you said it was a drawing just now.

Oops. Should've posted some sort of explanation.

WARNING: color pencil drawing.
