Before you learn how to draw A Clarinet, did you know?

Some folks think that the term “Clarinet” describes only one musical instrument, but that’s actually not true. It represents an entire family of different woodwind instruments. The sounds they make are very similar to the trumpet but have a different “flavor”. You might already know that the Bâ™­ clarinet is by far the most popular one in “trendy” music.

At the same time, when it comes to classical orchestral music, the A clarinet is the obvious leader. According to the historians, the very first clarinets were made by Mr. Denner in +/-1700. The initial concepts were quite primitive. Later, the man and his colleagues introduced more and more additional features and turned it into a fine musical instrument. 

Some Things To Keep In Mind…

These tutorials are only here to guide you. Your drawing does not need to look "identical" to mine.

Start with rough but light pencil strokes that you can work into the shapes you want.

Once you have your rough drawing completed, go over it in a darker stroke for your final drawing.

Add shading and/or color to complete if desired.

Using this technique you will be able to draw anything after some practice... even without following step-by-step tutorials.
