Love this thread. That thing Jimmy Olsen is playing looks more like a saz than a guitar.

I love this thread because apparently no one looks at guitars while drawing them. And yet every serious artist everywhere has been told to actually draw from life, even when (especially when) you think you know what someone or something looks like. It is as if art school is basically: you need to be looking at people and fruit to draw them. Guitars, however? Close your eyes and go to town, be as random as possible.

one thing that kills drawings like this is total adherence to a particular photographic source- it doesn't matter how much nuance you put into the shading if you don't understand the mechanics and dynamics of the thing you're trying to depict

Actually it is a baritome saz.

it's obviously tough going to get the face of the guitar to read as a flat surface on an elipse with so many compound curves around the edges

Wow, both of the instruments on the Spider-Gwen cover that morrisp posted are pretty good! OFF TOPIC. MODS PLEASE PERMABAN.

Ok but take further discussion to "Reasonably accurate drawings of guitars."

OK, back on track... this is one of my favorite drawings, by my favorite artist -- but I'm not afraid to admit that the angle of the neck is all f'd up:

The Beatles cartoon wasn't exactly a model of accuracy, but it's funny they went to the trouble of drawing Paul with his left-handed Höfner bass but couldn't be bothered checking how many strings a bass has.

Oh no, hang on. This is the one I meant to post, with Paul's 6 string bass.
