Description a gift for my boss, emily. i'm a dance instructor at the studio she owns. i love drawing dance in my photos.

I do wish I still danced. Too bad I feel that I've never fit in to such a shallow world. Even at my best.

This is a dancer with a secret. And sore toes.

So many wonderful things to say about this...I can't even express xD It would take farrr too long! Just really pretty and wonderful! The anotomy is really nice!

Very nice figure work here. Her body is very expressive, which is perfect for a dancer (I know a fair few). This is a really nice piece. I hope you color it some day.

aw thank you thank you thank you! I do plan on coloring it, I'm just so busy with the holidays!
And I tried so so hard to get that body right, the position is pretty difficult to draw anatomically correct. I'm fairly pleased with the results, but I can still sense some minor flaws. lol

I honestly don't think her face suits the rest of her body. It's almost as if it's too cartoonish...? And it reminds me alot of 's style.

I know what you mean! It's been crazy.

There are a few errors, but they're pretty minor. This is a really great piece.

I agree though that her expression could be more subtle, but I still like it. This has to be my favorite of any of your drawings.

oh wow, thank you! haha. what a compliment. This piece is better than most of my work in some ways, and then not nearly as good as most of my work in other ways. lol I hope to achieve a balance some day. lol

I know what you mean, but I just think this piece is so... oddly content. But usually we're each our own harshest critic.

I love the shading in this! It's great! I like her sweater, too. It looks really comfy.

I always wanted to do ballet...never got to though. Everyone says I have the body type for it, but I dunno if that really makes a different O.o

haha, it just depends. i don't have the body type at all, but i did pretty well. ^^ and you said you like to dance on your own, so you probably have more of a natural grace than you realize.

Whisperwings In reply to twirkle [2010-12-14 05:37:16 +0000 UTC]

I suppose that's true, lol. I've always felt graceful, I admit, though no one has ever told me one way or another
