Daily Sketch Workout, delayed

Wednesday's topic was "an insect musician". Today is Saturday and, although I started the "DAILY" sketch on Wednesday, my ambitions took me on a melodious tangent.  Needless to say, my insect is not quite ready for his debut.

I did a rough doodle of my insect musician, deciding that the violin would be my insidious insect's instrument. When I began to draw a violin, its beautiful intricacies defeated my sketching talents.

Here is the result:



Along the way I discovered that I didn't know jack about a violin, so I did some googling and at least learned the names of the violin's parts and sections (with a couple of hints to help me remember them):



If you do amuse yourself with the quizzes, here are the parts of the violin labeled; and the parts of the bow labeled.

Now I have no excuse not to finish Wednesday's Daily Sketch Workout.
