I’m Going to Get This!

Hardest thing I ever attempted and wow my brain hurt and I could barely see or comprehend it, but after pluggling away and using tools like shadows and string, I’m finally almost getting it:

After working all day fixing all parts: legs, keys (still not close yet), shadows galore and then redoing shadows, the book, the uke, the metronome, the body, and the lid.

My huge square ruler is too small, so I'm using string. 

Music that got me through this: all my old cd’s that skip. 

Looking at the real thing

I decided to ditch the cool photo I was using for inspiration pretty much completly because everytime I had a “question” (like, what does that look like?), I couldn’t answer it with the photo and had to use the real piano, and then as a result, the painting would become incorrect with discrepancies of lighting.

 

The keys will be this week!
