I practiced drawing some more ballerinas from photos, and I sincerely hope tomorrow when drawing from life again it'll be less daunting than last time. I'll probably panic anyway.
Still experimenting with different mediums for drawing ballerinas. I think 'chaos' is the key, clean lines just doesn't work for me for some reason. I found some old watercolor paper with crappy life drawings and painted it over with more watercolor and oil pastels. It's still difficult but I think it's a better starting place.
This week's life drawing has two ballerinas, and it was very very difficult. I found that line drawing is insufficient but there wasn't time for other mediums, plus I didn't have pastels with me. Luckily we were allowed to take pictures so I snapped away and came home and studied Degas for a few pointers, and did the color pencil on the right. I took out the dusty big box of color pencil/pastels I accumulated over the years, never thought I use them again but apparently they are just right for ballerinas.
I have a lot of weeds in the backyard. Might as well paint them as my excuse for not pulling them out. 
Bunny has a secret playground and nobody knows of it exists. It all made of glowing yarns and soft fabrics, so matter how rough you tumbles you won't get hurt in it.
