Balalaika Player

     The balalaika is a unique, three-stringed Russian instrument. Players often use the thumb to finger the notes on the neck. Between this and the interesting body shape, I've wanted to incorporate balalaika players into some drawings. I've never seen a musician stand while playing, but I thought it would be an interesting pose. This drawing was made using traditional watercolors.
