Bamboo and Ink...
These images are of a friend's guitar. I have focused on multiple forms, and separated them from each other. This study is in bamboo and ink.

On the top right I have looked in detail at the strings, and their connections to the base. Here a complicated and disorderly form is repeated, making it look uniform and ordered. I am interested in using this complication into simplicity idea in my design, perhaps using metal shapes, springs and strings.

With the bottom left image I have singled out the organic form of the main part of the guitar. As well as ink I have used coloured pastels to show the texture of the guitar, as it has a plasticy marble like finish. My original idea was to use this form as part of my interior, but I want to use a more industrial and geometric form in my final piece.

The bottom right circle was just a small catch on the side of the guitar which I noticed because of its simplicity. The metal cylinder shape could be useful to explore in my product and interior design.
