Description We got asked to design our very own costume for Hip Hop class, for next years dance a thon here (new years show).

If you are wondering, yes.. i dance Ive been dancing for many years, started with traditional Salsa, (since im Hispanic and mum wanted me to learn it) so ive been dancing since 5-6 yrs old. I found my passion for Hip Hop as i got older though, and have been dancing on and off for a few years now.

Anyways, this means i wont have to go buy more stuff? Oh coolness! The clothes i designed here for my own use are what i already have/ own, i might need to do some adjustments to it, like maybe put more bling on it.. or something.. ill figure it out.

ARTIST RANT
Um well since this was a rough sketch when i was at dance the other day.. i took it home and started working on the line art, as it got more interesting, i saw it was going to end up as just sketch work, and not coloured :b Why? cause i also need practice with Graphite pencils, as Got Milk is mainly that.. so good practice The pants where fun as always, and yes, i usually cut my own jeans and make them different, as i dont like dressing like "everyone else" :b

The only issue i had here where the legs, :/ drawing them with the pants was hard, and i should have started with just bare legs instaed of doign the pants first and THEN the legs.. ok.. so sense.. XD Im a fussy person when it comes to feet... as i use them a lot.. so the shoes listed below i actually own

Shoes: bloch's- [link]
or
sketchers- [link]

--------

I think this was mostly inspired by :3 casue he is the master of graphite sketching work! And if you havent gone to see his work, i highly recommend you do.. He has a very unique way of shading, and his art always looks so crisp and fresh ^_^

------

Heh, the song we are "working on" is BoA's "Energetic" song, that girl makes it look freakin easy >:3 check out her feet during the next video.. its like shes walking on ice or something.. and thats exactly why people need good shoes to do that

Enjoy! BoA- Energetic- [link] (check out her fancy foot work like 1:23)

Drawn by hand, with Monte Marte Grahite pencil.
Line Art: 1hr (leg pose was hard) >_>
No colour... but cleaned up the bg a bit, made it whiter.

Hope you like it

She looks like a gangsta wizard... maybe because she has a hoodie on and it looks like a cloak because of her flare pants. XD Do you notice I compare Natz to a wizard a whole lot?! (I just noticed that)

Sweeeeet, black and white shading/coloring!
Cool that you got to design your own clothes, I must say you look quite marvelous. Not everyone can pull off wearing clothes like that. Wow, awesome jeans you have thar...and the accessories (necklace and bangles on your wrists) are pretty additions, I know people who would love those. You know something, I really want those jeans now.
Love the sassy, confident pose, it just screams 'dancer'. Only you could look this good with those duds.
Nice job with the coloring, haven't seen graphite shading in a while.

Whoa, now seeing a dark image from someone else is very interesting. Man, I forgot what it's like looking form the outside in. how awesome. Everyone colors these days in terms of drawing. I can't color so that explains my dark sensual taste. But as far as graphite goes, I wouldn't say I'm the master. If you want to see a REAL pro, click this link. . This artist is the reason I'm shading a bit different lately. :]

But on the subject of Natz, it's very stunning. I can say that like everyone else. But alas, the outfit of choice here is pure different, I can tell you that. A hoodie, some looser jeans is something I don't see lately. Haven't seen the "hippity hop" style yet. This is actually the first. Well I must...that I am impressed though. How an artist like yourself was able to accomplish such a feat like this in terms of shades and style is beyond. I can tell you that much. I hope other artist like your "dark" image.

Thanks Todd Means a lot coming from someone like you, i mean youre art is an inspiration to me, as ive always had issues with graphite pencils.. i wish i had the knack XD ive always admired you for making the pics so crisp like i mentioned

......

HOLY FUDGE MONKEYS!! That artist is awesome! Hooray for traditional art! I loved the Princess Zelda one But yea, i can see what motivates you, and why.. Keep at it Toddy, and ill come by your gallery soon enough.. its been a mad house here lately XD

Thanks again
