Facebook Page www.facebook.com/pages/Blanket…Hello everyone. Today I add a new image. This time it is a Les Paul Guitar. I worked on it about 20 hours.
The Les Paul is a solid body electric guitar that was first sold in 1952. The Les Paul was designed by Ted McCarty in collaboration with popular guitarist Les Paul, whom Gibson enlisted to endorse the new model. It is one of the most well-known electric guitar types in the world, along with the Fender Telecaster and Fender Stratocaster.
MODELS AND VARIATIONS
The Les Paul guitar line was originally conceived to include two models: the regular model (nicknamed the Goldtop), and the Custom model, which offered upgraded hardware and a more formal black finish. However, advancements in pickup, body, and hardware designs allowed the Les Paul to become a long-term series of electric solid-body guitars that targeted every price-point and market level except for the complete novice guitarist. This beginner guitar market was filled by the Melody Maker model, and although the inexpensive Melody Maker did not bear the Les Paul name, its body consistently followed the design of true Les Pauls throughout each era.
Beyond shaping and body design, there are a number of characteristics that distinguish the Gibson Les Paul line from other electric guitars. For example, in a fashion similar to Gibson's hollow-body instruments, the strings of Les Paul guitars are always mounted on the top of the guitar body, rather than through the guitar body, as seen in competitor Fender's designs. The Gibson also features a variety of colors, such as Wine Red, Ebony, Classic White, Fire Burst, and Alpine White. In addition, the Les Paul models offered a variety of finishes and decorative levels, a diversity of hardware options, and an innovative array of electric pick-up options, some of which significantly impacted the sound of electric music. For instance, in 1957, Gibson introduced the humbucker (PAF), which revolutionized the sound of the electric guitar, and eliminated the mains hum, which had previously plagued guitars with single coil magnetic pickups.

Originality Technique ImpactI have my devotion to guitars and one always catches my eye. But especially when it is a drawing, and a good one - like this.
The first thing to notice is the realistic and detailed look of the drawing. All due elements are carefully drawn to the tiniest particle and little reflection. The complete clarity of these details is not easy to achieve with only pencils, and it leaves a wonderful and pleasant impression.
My only remark about the accuracy of the drawing would regard the slightly convex surface of the body, which is not visible from all angles. Here the body looks almost flat, and because of this the bridge seems shifted to the left from the saddle.
A little contemplation on the background. First of all, the gradient is well used to help the guitar stand out and define the darker areas better. The simplicity is also rather preferable. However, while the shadow hints that the guitar is lying on a surface, there is no sense of perspective in the background. On the other hand, the angle is well defined in the neck and headstock which leaves a slight conflict between them and their shadow. It looks a bit off in this respect.
So, in summary, I can say the author is pretty good in pencil techniques which is evident from the excellent clean details, but she still needs to refine her work with the perspetive. Good luck in that!
