This is a blue tone STRATOCASTER guitar I want to build, as I have an unfinished Extra Light Alder Warmth STRATOCASTER body lying around for many years. So why not paint a blues theme on it. I always wanted to paint something on the guitar.
So I think that what a better way to do a blues theme as Robert Johnson tribute guitar. The Legend that Robert Johnson sells his souls to the devil in Crossroads. The devil gives his guitar a tuning, a magic touch that with magic power, some super natural power behind his magic hands, to symbolize this, I imitate the gesture of god’s magic touch at the fresco painting by Michelangelo, The Creation of Adam, which forms part of the Sistine Chapel's ceiling.
There are not many photos about Robert Johnson, most iconic one is this one use of his album cover. To proficient hand drawing skills on his image and practice first, I started with doing some sketch.
Then I trace the outline of guitar onto paper, to planing the composition.
time lap video.
And I got new ideas for how to make Robert Johnson walking on crossroads.
Made a 3D model as his image in the movie scene.
Set the angle as the crossroads on my drawing
Flatten it to made 3D painting relief.
