How To Draw Kirk Hammetts Esp Electric Guitar
Step 1.
This is step one and in this step you will draw the frame work of a basic electric guitar. Since this is a 24 fret guitar the neck is long. The fewer the frets the shorter the neck. After you draw the neck draw the lower cavity of the guitar before moving to step 2.
Step 2.
In this step make sure you take your time drawing all six lines starting from the bridge of the guitar all the way to the top of the neck. But before you draw the strings what you actually do is draw the frets first. You can't have the frets over lap the strings it should be the other way around. Sketch in the hole at the top for the stems of the tuning keys.
Step 3.
After the time consuming step 2, here you will be focusing on the two floyd rose bridges that are just a pair of simple rectangles. The best thing to do is enlarge the image to see the details that need to be sketched in before you move to step 4. Do not rush through these steps you want to make them as neat as possible.Sketch in the three knobs on the right hand side and detail the top of the neck some more before moving to step 4.
Step 4.
In this step you will notice that the skull and bones are high lighted to draw next, but the fact is you should actually do this very carefully because you have the strings already set in place. If you don't want to take the chance of drawing them in this step, you can either leave them out or sketch them in in step 1. What ever you choose is your choice depending on what will be easiest for you. There isn't to many guidelines on this sketch so you don't have to worry about erasing those, but you might want to clean up the sheet by perfecting the lines.
Step 5.
Here is what your sketch should look like when you are done. As you can see it looks awesome and totally rad. Color it in and I'll see ya later.Comments: Post Comment

I have not a single clue what they would do without Kirk? his solos and excesive wah-wah pedal style of playing are just amazing. I wonder what would happen if he quit? * goes into a trance*
