Hand colored with colored pencils: Tambourine

@andrewq · 2025-09-18 02:19 · Rising Star Game

How are you, lovely community? I dedicated my handmade drawing today to a new instrument: the tambourine. I think it's one of the most well-known instruments I've brought here. You can often see this in traditional bands and other places. For example, it's often seen in Spain, and in Middle Eastern music as well. To make it sound, it's easy to just hit it with one hand, and the attached rattles make the sound and produce the music.

I remember when I was little, I had to make one of these for a school project. The one I made was more rudimentary; it consisted of a rope with several metal soda or beer bottle caps. When you hit them with your hand, they sounded like an improvised tambourine. It was fun to do, and I still remember it many years later. That's why I'm happy to be able to make this drawing and share it with you.

With my pencil, I drew the name of the tambourine on the sheet of paper. Then I made a box around it and later enclosed everything within the deck's base. But that wasn't all, because I then made another base within the first one that includes the luck circle, which is the deck's only statistic. The tambourine was what I included last.

--- With one of my markers, I then highlighted each line and stroke. This way, each area can be seen more clearly and it doesn't look caked on.

I grabbed my box of crayons and started coloring. It was quick work, except for the tambourine, which has very small parts. Then I highlighted everything again with my black marker.
