Description A young ballerina practicing her en pointe (and sucking)

jk jk. I know that shit is hard. Ballerinas are hardcore, man. Actually, I've had a lot of interest in classical ballet lately.

...yesit'sbecauseofPrincessTutu. It's a good show go watch it :l

I know her shoes are wrong >> I forgot to ink the straps.

...leotards are adorable.

looks good! the stuff I have been seeing from you lately has really impressed me.

just work on your shoulder anatomy (I have problems with this area, too!) and your perspective a bit

I like her torso.

I took ballet for a short time when I was young, and while I never got to toe-standing, I can relate! A lot of that stuff looks so painful.

While it's not a very complex piece, I think it works well as what it is, and I like how you showed the color of the leotard and the detail of the leggings. The only one thing I can see to critique is that her left arm looks a tiny bit short, but then again I tend to draw figures with long arms and bodies, so it might just be me.

ONWARD BRAVE DANCER.

I don't think the shoes are horribly wrong, I think I've seen some point shoes that didn't have the straps...but then I might be crazy, lol. I do remember seeing some that the straps hadn't been sown into yet for sure, and it's possible that's all I'm thinking of.

Only thing to me is that the leg going back seems a little thick, but not by much. Other than that I think it looks fabulous.
