Incredibly shit drawings of guitars

Why does this cyber-tittied horselady have a fretless bass for a right arm? Passable likeness, shit context.

See, that has it's problems, but it's not the worst. It's recognizably a telecaster, whereas Keith looks like Alice Cooper from Prince of Darkness and the part of Mick Jagger is being played by a child of Dagon.

Haha, I think it’s worst on here... look at the angles of the neck and headstock! It’s clear the artist drew Keith’s hands first, and then very awkwardly tried to work in the gtr.

fwiw I think that is actually Bill Wyman’s head on Keith’s body.

I thought Ron Wood myself. Also loving the shoes and "pirate legs", reminds me of how Han Solo was drawn in the original Star Wars adaptation.

uh the guitar is good i guess but the rest is ...

I knew that the po-faced absurdity of DC Comics would not fail me

These drawings never get the pickups right

They also never get the gopher living in the hole

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

n tuning pegs with n-1 strings seems to be a common theme.

veering dangerously close to an existenZ-level nightmarish flesh instrument there

The organtar.

Boneless fretting hands were great until Popeye's ran out

nailed the lips though

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

also little jimmy's arms are incredibly long

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

Actually it is a baritome saz.

Not to be confused with the soprama saz, a.k.a. tha sazparilla

Don't get me started on drums, cymbals, and tom angles.

Here is a pretty good drawing, as a palate cleanser:

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.

* other ambiguous faces

Chap at the back seems like a composite of all BTS members. Anyone dare to take a guess at the guy holding the shit guitar?

Bearded guy looks like F. Murray Abraham

Has a little George Carlin vibe going on, as well.

And Robert Wyatt.

from an article about Brian May's guitar:

That looks like Paul Stanley playing Adrian Belew's fretless guitar

Why is this so difficult? Do these artists not have models to draw from?

In this case the illustration was sitting above a photo that the guitar was clearly taken from -
