Description Derwent graphic pencils, HB,B,3B,6B&8B, on A3 Winsor & Newton smooth paper.

Here is another one of Richard Calmes ' dancers. I've been very fortunate to receive permission from this amazing dance photographer to use his photo www.pbase.com/rcalmes/image/14… as a reference for this drawing.

I hope you enjoy...

Thank you so much! I love this pose too! That beautiful strength in her legs and body, and the flow of movement around through to her hair... amazing dancer and photographer.

Thank you so much, Karin! And I bet you could learn to draw even better than that!! They say anyone can learn to draw, and you clearly have such an artistic flair and a good eye for beauty and design. I only started a few years ago, and back then I never would have believed I could do this now.

Thank you, Rob! Much appreciated. It's funny, it's only a small part of the picture but I really liked working on the folds in her leotard, and the ballet shoes as well.

Thanks heaps! I really appreciate it. It's really satisfying working with graphite like this, and I've been trying to get better with hair.

I like this. Nice balance between photo realism and the abstract. Enough detail, without it being hyper-real.
