ORIGINAL DRAWING LESSON

Trumpet

Let's learn how to draw one of the musical instruments—the trumpet. Start with smooth, curved lines to convey the elegant shape of the trumpet's body, paying attention to the transitions from the wide bell to the narrower part. Then add details such as the valves and mouthpiece, using clear lines and shadows to give the instrument volume and realism. Finally, with light strokes or soft color transitions, emphasize the shine of the metal, creating a sense of a polished surface and reflections.
