Step 21How to Draw A Violin P
The flat side's of the bouts are always a challenge to get right , the best way is to run a line from the opposite top or bottom centre to miss the rib out line / block by 3mm
the top 1/2 and the bottom 1/2 of this drawing are diffident around the the top bout area , i personally like the top 1/2 , so will modify the drawing to be the same top 1/2 and bottom 1/2
This is the basic out line of the "1234 violin " , the same as the my plan of the violin , on the second photo , it shows the out line against an ebay purchased "Strad template " , its not that far off but it is not a Strad
If you want your brain to hurt , you can modify the size of the circles , some thing ive been playing with ,is trying to draw a STRAD by modifying the circle size by the ratio of a guitars frets on a guitars finger board
So if you divide a string length by 17.817...... (magic number) , take that length off the string , you will end up with tone 1 note higher
This "how to" is all my own work , and i challenge anyone to search the web for a web page that shows " how to draw a violin with a compass" , there are 2 images of finished drawings , very complex , and are the result of reverse measuring an existing famous violin , it took me about 3 months to work this way out from those 2 images , some of the other books ways of drawing violins refer to drawing angles down to the 1/100th of a degree , imposable with a pen and protractor
If you use this "how too " please call the shape a "1234 32:16overlap violin " starting with a larger measurement should result in a larger instrument , viola , cello , double base , quad base the octobase is just plain unplayable
