Flexible -(colored pencils and soft pastel).
I woke up this morning feeling the need to do some certain exercises but I couldn't because of the serious pain I could get from the exercises and I know my body is not flexible enough to do them, this made me wish I was a ballerina that can flex her body any how she wants and need.
With that thought I could visualize a ballerina's dancing legs, which made me decide to draw one using colored pencils and pastel.
So guys let me share with you how I drew this beautiful piece.
I started by sketching out the legs and the shoes, then I colored it with a colored pencil starting from bright tone to the dark tone, the reason I start from bright colors while using colored pencils is because if I start with the dark colors the bright colors won't show, but in painting I start from the dark colors most times.
After I finished coloring the legs and shoes I colored the back ground using soft pastel, to be honest creating this piece was fun and this means a lot to me.
Once they explained to me how painful and also dangerous those shoes are (and expensive) I must say if I look at the feet I see the pain. I wouldn't call it flexible since flexibility isn't shown. Perhaps grace althoug it depends on what one calls grace.
Nice those lemon green shoes.
Hmmm true, but the way they can bend and move their bodies is among why I think they are flexible.
Tag me if you added the bodies, please.
A great Sunday!
