The only reference photo I used was an image of my violin. This was supposed to be a tribute to my violin because its old and stuff. Its at least 130 years old and it's a family heirloom. But I got halfway through and realized that I don't want to place 800 lines on the body of my violin because thats the wood pattern it has. Not for me. Instead I took what I had already made, added some poinsettias, which made it Christmas themed. And then I added some random* notes in the background.
