Illustration – Guitars

Here is a series of illustrations on guitars and other guitar related gears. Two of the guitars are my own and the others are guitars that I could only dream of having. As you may have noticed, I have a strong passion for guitars.
The gradients were used to create depth and shiny surfaces. To create the shadows I’ve duplicated the same shape, reposition slightly, fill it black and then set the opacity down.
To create the wood texture I used Filter > Texturizer to create the wooden lines then Filter > Ocean Ripple to make the lines more random. On the edge of the acoustic guitar (middle) I used Filter > Stain Glass to create a nice pearl mosaic effect.
I used heavier strokes on the outline of the guitars and pedals to emphasize the main general shape and used lighter strokes for small details.
I really like the clean outline versions of the guitars as they have a nice blueprint style of design.
