Welcome back! I hope you had a wonderful week! Today I will be diving into another dancer piece I've done called Dancing Petals.
I wanted to make a series of dancers, focusing on ballet. This piece is the first piece I finished for that series. When I was drawing this piece, well, I've been finding myself really getting into making a "vibe" or "atmosphere" for my pieces. Where I'll come up with a playlist of songs to listen to to create the inspiration for these Ladies. What was I listening to on repeat while drawing? Two songs from JUNNA, one is Here the other is Dear, Florence + The Machine- Breathe of Life, Raven of the Inner Palace's opening song Natsu no Yuk, and the ending song for Akatsuki no Yona. I suppose you could say, I had a very whimsical magical vibe from the music that I wanted to wrap into the art. Hence why I added the flower petals flying around in a spiral around the girls. Also wanting to give off a bit of a fairy or pixie vibe.
Their attire is traditional of a ballerina, with the halter top body suit with a white to purple ombre panty hose, with silver jewelry as head pieces and drapped around them like a vine. Although here one woman's hair is in two luscious braids, and the other is sporting a bob. I'm sure most dancers usually have their hair up but, This is for esthetics sake!
In all honesty, I had a lot of fun doing this piece. There are two others that I've been working on and tweeking but, haven't gotten quite right. So stay tuned for those to come!
Thank you for stopping by and I hope to see you again!
Toodles Doodles!
