Q&A for How to Draw a Violin

First you draw 2 lines and connect them with a slanted line. Then you make one side thicker.

Use the correct shading on the edges and back. Use heavier tones for the shadows and make the shape appropriate to how it would look if it were actually 3D.

Print out a nice picture of a person playing and trace it. With this method, you'll have more of an understanding of the figure of a violinist. Over time, you'll be able to recreate it without tracing.

Put your flat colors down first, then add shadows and highlights as needed. It may also help to look up photo references of real violins to reference.
