Description This is a drawing of myself playing the viola that I did for my Drawing II final. The project was to draw a self-portrait that describes oneself, so I wanted to express my love for music in this piece.

The perspective of the viola is somewhat wonky, but I suppose I'm satisfied with this piece.

(also, the hand is supposed to have the effect of a motion blur, if anyone was wondering why it looked that way)

Charcoal on gray paper, 18x24in

Thanks!
Actually, I can't play the viola well or even play intermediate stuff on it. I'm more of a pianist, lol.
