Description request for hope you like it! If you want some things changed just let me know and I can go back into it for you.
Took me a good week and a half or something like that. And let me tell you, their suits and faces are extremely hard to draw. So that's why their faces are blurred, they looked horrible. Plus their faces aren't really the central point in this piece, their bodies are.

Their faces look very good this way, but if you blurred their bodies it wouldn't look as good
I love that they have different bodies and seem to be of different age, just like an older and younger brother (or sister), love how the young one looks so fragile while the other looks more experienced. The proportions are very good and the colors reminded me of impressionism, the clean white background seems to work best with this palette. Overally it's beautifully done and very pleasant to look at!

oh my gosh that is seriously the most wonderful comment! it makes me so happy to hear from you!
And you are right about their age differences. It's based off of a picture of Julie Bergez and Natasha Patterson from Cirque du Soleil's Kooza. Julie's the one on the bottom, she's 14 and Natasha is the one balancing on her legs on top, she's 12. They're so amazing. I've seen the once so far. I'm seeing them again in May. They're so great. Julie can literally run around her own head. It's pretty awesome.
And I get what you mean about the white background. I tried out a black background at first because that's what my reference picture had but it dulled the color of their suits too much for my liking.
Thanks so much!
