Chinese pipa

Here’s a quick morning sketch of a Chinese pipa also known as a Chinese lute.
Blue bic biro on paper.
Actual Time taken 20 mins.
I like to wake up to a gentle morning practice of sketching to set the tone for the rest of my day.
It is a practice I have kept for the last decade and I am thankful for this introduction by my mentor Mariana who sadly left us but i am reminded of her when I draw.
