Let Your Feet Hit the Ground; Dance
The word of the week according to Illustration Friday.com, an art forum to discuss creative issues; is grounded. I would like to incorporate the theme dance into the word grounded. I am inspired by the famous artist during the Impressionist period, Edgar Degas. During his art career he has created profound pieces illustrating ballerinas.

Here is a piece done by me, Keira Stirling, a ballerina outside. For this drawing I used pastels.

That's lovely, Keira. Just remember that each week you need to finish the piece with some typography that communicates some sort of graphic design... a website, a magazine cover or article, a CD, a t-shirt design - whatever you like :^)
ReplyDeleteThis would be my warmup, getting back into drawing after the Christmas holidays and taking a short break for myself with family.
