Description

I remember one day being inside a bus, listening music with my mp3 player (Pagan Poetry by Björk to specify). Suddendly all this beautiful ideas came up to my hand. I remember reading that Björk asked for some crystal music boxes for her album "Vespertine", because she wanted a "freeezer" sound and I thought about painting a ballerina, but instead of a porcelain one, a human one. So, this is dedicated to her album "Vespertine" and those lights around the ballerina represent the movement and the "freeze" sound. I also wanted to give those classical fairy tale feeling (that's why I did not add skin tone variations) and the ballerina is supposed to be inside a music box. Yeah, that is a painted wall in the background. I hope you like. Done entirely in Adobe Photoshop.

excellent work! The dress is perfect. The anatomy of her right arm seems a little off, and the foot she's ballancing on is rather large, but its only obvious if your hunting for something to critique u on

7/8

Wow, it's very good!
I especially like the hands and face, They are very well done and detailed.
The thing I don't like as much is the ground where she's standing. does not seem obvious what it is.
But great painting !

Nice work! A little bit too blurry though. The bg could have used some more work and the colours could interact a little bit more

Proximus1: Thanks! Don't worry about that, I understand.

Dejanira: Thanks for advice, I didn't notice about it.

Crazyboy: It was something quick, I do things desperately sometimes, thanks a lot!

Daykan: Thank you!

Diane: Ooh dear, the background is a sketch on a wall, that's why I didn't detail so much. About the colours, my intention was to do a more fairy tale feel. Thanks anyway!

Picturing a balet dancer must be hard, I can imagine.
I have to paint some sort of ballet dancer for a client and so far have collected some refs but have no ideas yet how to picture it good.

However! It's a lovely pose and you have well rendered her.
She has some little anatomy errors with her arms and legs but it's not that bad that the painting wouldn't be working

Well, it was waaaaaaaaay hard... but I remember the most hard part was the standing foot, I just seemed to fail everytime with the shape when I painted it, it even turned out too big and weird! I appreciatte your observation, good luck with your ballerina! Greetings!

Hola, tiene tiempo desde la ultima vez que visite tu galería y veo que has estado trabajando bastante.

Este es un buen trabajo. A mi también me encanta el disco Vespertine y sobre todo Pagan Poetry... La verdad no relaciono mucho esa canción con una bailarina de ballet pero me gusto como presentas el movimiento.

Una muy bella pose clásica en la bailarina. Siento que aun puedes trabajar la profundidad en el fondo.

Saludos!
