A Visual Guide For Drawing Flutes

A Visual Guide for Drawing Flutes

Many artists like drawing their favorite characters playing flutes. And sometimes, there are errors. Especially when not all artists are musicians.

Well… I have 2 years total of flute experience. Some months of learning, some months of playing for fun, and 1 school year of marching band. But i haven't play in about 10 years. I play concert flute. The meTallic kind. Not the wooden/ bamboo kind. But the hands are the same.

Flutists/ Flautists , feel free to reblog and add your comments. Especially if you have more experience.

excuse my pajamas.

FOR VISUAL GUIDE: On my left hand is a red wristband/ bracelet. On my right hand is a black wristband/ bracelet and black paper claws.

First! I hold flute in set/ attention position (as known in marching band).

[image ID: Me, wearing pajamas and sunglasses to cover my face, holding my flute in set position. The instrument is perpendicular to the ground (or parallel with the body) and the mouthpiece is level with my mouth (it should be level with my eyes, actually). My left hand is wearing a red wristband/ bracelet. My right hand is wearing a black wristband/ bracelet and adorned with black paper claws.

End Image ID]

NOTICE: My left hand is positioned above my right hand. this makes going into playing position easier.

Second! I hold flute in playing/ horns up position. This is what the artists are more interested in, since we are drawing characters playing the flutes.

[Image ID: Me, wearing pajamas and sunglasses to cover my face, holding my flute in playing/ horns up position. The instrument is parallel to the ground and the mouthpiece is touching my mouth. My left hand is wearing a red wristband/ bracelet. My right hand is wearing a black wristband/ bracelet and adorned with black paper claws.

NOTICE: The flute is position on my right. My left arm is across my body. My left palm is facing in, the wall. My left hand is closer to my body. My right palm and fingers are facing out, toward you. My right hand is farther out away from my body.

This applies for any and all fandoms. I know that QSMP and Hetalia have characters who canonically play flutes. I originally made this post for the qsmp fandom.

HAVE FUN DRAWING!

Catch me up. What were Jaiden’s new tasks for the day? (Yesterday. Friday) How were they connnected to Roier?

And what lore is surrounding the cats?? I just heard that there’s something about gray cats???

so i can not access the twitter accounts without logging in and i reefuse to create an account.

anyone else who does have the accounts, keep us updated with the picstures and stuff. share if the update accounts are cryptic or changed their pfps. share any of the stuff that are sent to the characters. etc. etc if you're already doing that, keep it up!

When Top Gun: Maverick was in theaters, my siblings were interested. They’re nerds about the aircrafts sort. When dad asked if we want to watch, we all went. (Except mom bc she has a bedtime)

I was technically dragged along. My siblings can geek and nerd out all they want.

But Here’s the thing. my brother is also a gamer. He played Ace Combat 7 a lot. And we all watched him play. We watched him start his games, fail levels, attack chickens, backseat game to help find hidden Easter eggs, get killed in games over and over, crash his aircrafts on purpose, restart games, etc etc.

So when a certain scene from the movie arrives, all 4 of us sitting in the theater went “wait. Hold up.”

I’m aware that we aren’t alone. The AC7 and movie made a collab and all. Social media. Etc etc. but it was a funny moment for the family.

i camb back and my hadns are shaking and the fan is on, i can't hear the machine noise that cellbit is talking about. or any noises that the gamers are hearing..

time father

continuing my kick of making my own sequel idea of rotg incorporating what I’ve read on the books, and thus giving a nerdy clock wizard dad more clock motifs because time magic is cool as heck

(I also designed this version of him to be the same age as north rather than his senior, thus here Ombric is a peer and close old friend from North's pre-guardian years, as well the one who taught him how use magic )
