Full Disclosure

This is my first feeble attempt at a ballerina.
I went to the book store for a book written by Twyla Tharp and I picked up this little jewel for $8. It came with a wooden mannequin!
To memorize the figure first practice the simple, really simple head.
The thorax, ummm, yes, I guess that's the breathing area.

Then practice the pelvic area, yes, pelvis, not Elvis! Although, Elvis...
Add arms and legs, I almost forgot to draw arms, so I drew a pear.
Whole body? Hmm... yep, keep practicing jM!

 Well, all of that was yesterday. This morning while showering, I found myself practicing drawings, of these little guys on the shower door. Oh, they're all dried up now! I did secretly attempt another ballerina, shh... maybe she'll come out of the end of my pen yet!
