This isn't just about drawing instruments or musical notes. This challenge is about drawing musical inspiration. What inspires you to create music? How does music inspire you?Who inspires you in the musical world? Who ever portrays 'Musical Inspiration' the best gets 'passed the baton', and gets to put their own spin on a new challenge. Have fun!

This pic, by mekeys, brings the signature tune of Dr Who to my mind:

... and so does this one by Qsilv:

With this pic by artdillon, I hear a picallo, representing the dappled sunshine through the trees:

.. and this, by orriginal, brings the sound of a pure, haunting soprano to my mind.

I realise that the baton has to be passed for a new drawing ... but is this the sort of thing that you mean?

This is exactly what I mean. Whatever inspire you may it be someone something or some sound...express it in drawing. May it be pattern, or a picture of the object itself. Hope that helped

"The New World" by Dvorak was ever been one of my favourites. Drawing this while listening it was deeply inspiring and also wanderfully relaxing!

This may sound a little strange but part of music's inspiration to me is sleep and the part that music plays in it for me. I work graveyard shift so besides winding down on this computer I play relaxation music when I do lay down to sleep. So here is a "crude" abstract.

The five notes of "Close Encounters of the Thirth Kind" will be forever a musical icon of the universal language of music. Definitively inspiring! As well as the whole John William's music, anyway!

This one's a bit sarcastic....although i like the song, initially i didn't have in mind bringing the pic close to the song's video, than it occured me maybe it would be challenging:
http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=100760
Another one inspired by Michael Jackson's clip -Leave me alone:
http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=98370
And another one inspired by Will I Am's song:

I have fond memories of listening to my AM transister radio during high school. Then I had a stereo with an FM/AM radio/turntable. Now I listen mainly in my car or on my computer. Radio lets me choose classical, rock, country, alternative...with the push of a button.
