I made a set of reference images of Verso and his piano, using photo mode to get in close for some details. Feel free to use as you wish!

Verso sat at the piano (not playing), side view and 3/4 side view.

Verso playing, from the rear.

Verso playing, side, 3/4 side view (front and back angles).

Piano seen from the back, side, and top (lit to show details and texture).

Piano seen from the front.

Details: pedals and piano legs, and the maker's mark above the keys.

And finally, the internal mechanisms of the piano, lit for clarity

There is so much detail on this beautiful piano! Enjoy <3

So for my zine I took a ton of video of me playing piano and then isolated frames I thought were the most communicative physically and artistically and I thought I’d share bc good piano playing references are HARD to find!

Keep in mind I have like...abnormally small hands for playing piano LOL my stretch is an octave and MAYBE a 9th in my prime. So if ur drawing large hands these are very rough approximations esp for what keys are being hit and I’d recommend looking up professional pianists to see how they play the same intervals with less strain. Otherwise, I hope these are helpful! :)

Learning Fake Your Death on piano. I think this is the entire chord progression. [ignore this stupid reference video. I post these things so I can see if I improve at all]
