Dance - by Stareyes

I went for the obvious costume influence from 'Swan Lake', because it and the Nutcracker are the only ballets I know. I probably should have put less into her freckles, given the degree of stage makeup most performers wear.

And added eyeshadow.

You're welcome. And dance costumes are fun to draw. (I did a bit of dance as a kid, but nothing past grade school; the recital costumes were always amazing to look at, especially the older students who were performing solos or duets.)

Nice work on shading and textures there. :)

Thanks. I'm trying to improve my ability to shade, and to keep my digital images from looking so 'slick'. (The background I fudged a bit, since I wanted it out of focus, like a photograph, rather than the way the eye will refocus when looking at something.)

Plus costuming is full of so many texture things. I really need to just take some time and practice coloring various kinds of fabric (and other things).
