December 5th-Drawing on a Jenny-guitar

The last couple of days I've been doing pretty much only Christmas-y things on this blog so I thought it was time to take a brake.So today I'm did something unrelated to Christmas. I'm decorating a guitar.
Now first of there is a word everyone should learn: "Jenny-guitar". Now Jenny-guitars are playable cheep guitars. The sort that you might get as your first guitar or a guitar you might take with you for an afterparty or a mountainhike. They aren't useless guitars, if you tune them you should be able to play every note that you could play on a more expensive guitar but you won't get the same volume or the tune won't last as long, or it just won't simply sound as good.
Jenny-guitars is a name my family have used for such guitars since Jenny, a then-girlfriend of my older brother, gave him just such a guitar. I would like to stress that the term Jenny-guitar isn't a derogatory term, I love my Jenny-guitar. However I do see that it isn't a great guitar.
One of the good things about Jenny-guitars is that you can be a bit recless with them, they are cheep so there isn't that big a cost in replacing them and therfore defacing them isn't that big of a deal. I've wanted to draw on my Jenny-guitar for some time but just haven't gotten around to it.
I wanted something simplistic so i took quite a lot of inspiration from Kurt Halsey and this was where my first drawing came from.
When I started, I just wanted this one picture but it made theguitar look a bit left-heavy (Is that the correct term? Well, You know what I mean), So I shamlessly copied a second picture from Kurt Halsey just above the neck.
Making the guitar a bit more whole.




Isn't she a beauty!
