I really love how you've defined the ground and backdrop...whatever tool you used, the colors are really pasty and soft looking. It's nice.
As far as imput- I feel that more attention to color/lighting on the skirt would really make the piece. Also, I may be wrong, but anatomically I think her butt should be a bit farther upward, and possibley to the right a bit. It makes her torso seem a tad bit too long.
Nonetheless, it's a very cool, somber work in progress. Her expression is very stern, and can be taken it lots of ways. Good job!

Has such a gauzy and dreamy quality, Gillie ... really loving your ballerina draws!

I am not sure, but are you thinking her butt is on the ground? If so, not so....that is just the darkness of her skirt. I should probly shade that a bit differently, I can sorta see how you might htink it is her butt on the floor, if that were true she would be waaaaaay out of propotion. Thanks for commenting....much appreciated.

I think the trees in the foreground need more detail. The eagle'ls left wing is crooked and the snow on the back side of the mountain looks purple,,,what?..It's a different picture? What..? Oh.....nm..... This is very painted and pretty looking! I love this..

thanks all,
daninci....ha ha
jpjp, i love it also, as you know from my comments on your page, but I have not done it much since drawing on line because I have been trying to perfect my more realistic draws......but would like to start doing them more.

Oh very nice, I love all your ballerina paintings! They are beautiful!
