Description
Nastia Liukin, a world famous Olympic gold metal winning gymnast for the United States of America. Originally born in Russia, moved to the USA as a young child and developed her award winning gymnastic skills. Hence the expression Made in America.I really was drawn to her tough aggressive expression in this picture, with her face ready for competition and her arms cross, defensive in attitude and spirit ready to compete.
This piece was made with colored pencils.

You're very welcome!
I used to be a gymnast. At one of my competitions I saw Nastia do a floor routine live and got her autograph. XD
