Practice

An artist called Kerry Kisbey makes the most beautiful line drawings of dancers. I’ve been trying to copy her technique in order to get shapes down quickly on paper.

I’m going to a drawing workshop next month where I’ll have the opportunity to sketch the movement of English National Ballet dancers as they rehearse for The Nutcracker. I need to be able to get figures down quickly! This is the first time I’ve tried this particular technique and it is quick, but harder than it looks. I’m pleased with the two attempts above, though, so will practice this between now and the workshop. I’ll have to get the Ards Man to throw a few moves! :)

PS apologies for poor quality photo - I’ve just realised I’ve been trying to draw in a really dim light!
