IF ~ MUSIC EDM #17 musical instrument

I enjoy sketching for Illustration Friday (IF) as well as EveryDay Matters (EDM) and this weeks IF topic is MUSIC and it just so happens that there is an EDM challenge to draw a musical instrument #17, so I am combining this illustration for both clubs.
This is just my pencil sketch

and here is my colored version.
Whattcha think?

Really nice work-in-progress, and I like how the colors worked to bring out the joy of playing the instrument ^^ I love playing the guitar too

Nice work! Its good to see it black and white and then colored! The EDM17th challenge was one of the few I passed... just couldn´t get excited about it. Don´t know why.
