Description 2 days ago, my friend from Mashad told me if i could make something for his sister's birthday. I thought that maybe this time i could improve with my Persian miniature painting style drawing, so i decided to make this persian court musician.

The inspiration came from the sound of Tar that really fascinated me. Persian traditional music, according to my opinion, has a much faster beats than their Arabic or eastern European counterpart. The best thing about Persian traditional music is that, the music speaks to you with its melody telling you the story through its emotion.

It was inspired from this music: Ross Daly - Synavgia (Part 1) [link]

This was drawn on A4 with pencil and Ink, i'm planning to make another one with A3 paper. If you have any suggestion, please feel free to drop me a note or let me know

NB: Oh, the persian writing is in gibberish, unfortunately I can't speak farsi.

May I use this image on a pot? I transfer images onto pottery. I don't plan to make more than one or two pots. Is that all right? ( I have a 5000 dollar ceramic decal printer)

you should continue this. you could even portray famous XX century leaders as old caudillos.
you may even portray stalin or mao as brutal kings!

Hi There, Thanks for the compliment. Most of the drawings I've made are inspired by those kind of music, historical and indigenous to the culture I'm drawing
