The human figure in motion as represented in dance is one of the most interesting subjects to draw. I began this drawing simply trying to capture the motion and angles of the dancers. Next I sketched in the faces. I then worked on getting the body proportions correct and unfortunately ran out of space at the bottom of the page. I should have first sized the subject to the paper. In order to bring out the dancers more I shaded in the background with a light blue colored pencil and burnished the blue with a light gray pencil.

I love this one. You can see the arch of her back and the strength of her pose. It's an interesting balance point for both of them - something you see only in dance.
