Description
Something a little different from my usual...well, do I have a usual? It's not a face anyway. My sister's friend Gabi commissioned me to draw a dancer for her house in Uganda, where she is a missionary caring for orphans. (Check out her blog: [link] ) She didn't care what ref I used so in lieu of stealing someone else's photo I used one of my sister that I took a couple years ago.RANDOM SPOTLIGHTISH EFFECT FTW. I totally made up the background, can you tell?
Hope you like it! Comments appreciated

I could've sworn this was already in my favorites... hmm
Anywho, I love the shadows and the harsh lines. Her arms have such a grace, yet you can feel the strain/deliberate movements of her body. I love the dress and the movement in that as well!!

Thanks! Cloth movement is really fun to draw. I tried to use the motion of my pencil strokes to show the motion in the picture.

Thats very nice Starlace. An unusual and dynamic pose captures the mood perfectly. Very good use of the medium.
Thought i should have a look about your gallery a bit closer after you have made so my positive comments in mine.

Sorry, I meant to add it to my favorites but forgot. I only realised I hadn't when you commented on it.

Thank you! Heh...actually...there was no music. Playing. But there was probably some in her head, so...
