Sketchies

A dancing girl. It's difficult to portray the movement involved in dancing, probably because the whole body moves, but in a limited way. I was experimenting with indicating motion through hair -- although her hair indicates entirely too much motion!



And here is Lucy Liu, from a reference photo. She was April's Drawing Jam girl on the Drawing Board forums. This is my second attempt at this pose. I meant to just draw a generic character using the photo as reference, but in the end it looked so much better than my first, more accurate try that I changed the face to be more like Lucy's.
