Blessings, colleagues! It's a beautiful morning to enjoy a good coffee and, of course, start the day by looking at a drawing of one of the fantastic cards in the game. In this case, I'm going to show you the drawing I did of R496 Old English Horn. This card represents an old English Horn. Looking at its design, it's somewhat similar to modern oboes, with the difference that this one doesn't have an external reed but an internal one.
This particular design was widely used in classical music centuries ago. Possibly during the Renaissance or even the medieval period. It's impossible to say for sure who invented it because, like many other ancient instruments, it's an evolution of older ones. So it would be difficult to ask until we find out who invented it. But at least we should be grateful to whoever it was, since thanks to them we have the modern oboes that are indispensable in orchestras.
Let's move on to the drawing, which I'm sure is what you want to see now, since that's why you came here in the first place, lmao. Anyway, it's always good to analyze what we're going to paint a bit. Well, actually, I've already painted it, but now I'm going to show you a summary. It's a tongue twister in the form of a joke; those who have followed me from the beginning already know me and know that I often joke around here. I started by painting the inner frame of the card.
After finishing the frame, I drew the design of the Old English Horn, starting with the central part, then the lower flared part, and finally the upper part.
In the next step, I drew what would be the internal divisions of the instrument. These simulate the wood carvings and also make each part more visible. And with that, the sketch is finished.
Now it's time to paint! You can see how I painted it from beginning to end. I used red as the predominant color for the main background of the card. And inside, I used various shades of blue and brown for both the wood grain and the inner background.
And to finish up for today, here's the finished drawing with the details from the original card, like the name and the game's name. I added the game's name as part of a stamp to confirm the drawing is complete. See you in the next drawing. Blessings.
