Pen-Detailed Guitars

Filament by Patrick Fisher Adds Black Sketches to Instrument Surfaces

— June 24, 2012 — Life-Stages
Filament by Patrick Fisher adds a unique twist to guitars by adding detailed black sketches across the guitars facades. His drawings represent nature, and they add more beauty and a personalized look to the instruments. Patrick Fisher draws natural settings with a black felt-tip pen on light guitar surfaces to create photorealistic pictures on the body of the guitar.

Fisher draws all of his designs by hand, and references a picture before he begins his work. Fisher uses the guitar's facade as his canvas for his artistic creations. He creates sketches, doodles and big pictures of insects and nature that he does all by hand.

These detailed designs across the surface of these guitars will let you play in style, and are perfect for guitar loves. Spice up your plain guitar surface with one of these beautiful designs!
