Mandolin

An entry for Everyday Matters Weekly Challenge #17.

I didn’t have enough time to finish this Mandolin in one go. I sketched the black ‘n’ white version (using ink) last week, colored the basic yesterday with watercolor/gouache and today I added some tid bit texture using color pencil to loosen it up a bit.
After the first two steps, I thought that it looked rather boring and too rigid. So when I was adding some texture using color pencil, I thought….oh…what the heck…I’ll add some lines here and there as well. I think I somewhat like the ‘after lines’ version than before. They do loosen the drawing and are not very disruptive. I like it, I may have to just loosen up a bit when sketching (or in life).
