If anyone had told me I'd be out in public drawing people dancing a year a go I'd have thought they were nuts. But once I'd sat down and got over my initial self consciousness I couldn't stop. I came home with over 30 drawings. Most of which are little sketches, like the ones below, but also a few more 'finished' pieces. A lot of them seemed to feature the couple above, Elaine and Paul, who not only looked really great but also danced for the entire afternoon.
And, AND, I did manage to draw some cars. In fact, unebeknownst to me at the time, I drew the car that belonged to the couple above. Who I really wasn't stalking. Honestly!
Anyway, those drawings of cars to come soon.
gorgeous dresses <3 i love your figure drawing style, too!

Is it Swing or is is Jitter-bug? Dunno, but I do know I love the movement you have got in those sketches.
ReplyDeleteCars are very hard to draw, but I have to admit the days I spent drawing and painting an old 1940's pick-up with rust and worn paint were terrific fun. Not a subject I want to do too often though, too many straight lines...
The dancing was jiving and as you gathered I love to dance. Thank you so much Andrea for doing such beautiful drawingsof us, I feel truley honoured, they are awsome. You really made our day. Elaine & Paul x
ReplyDeleteJive! (Takes me back a very long way...)
ReplyDeleteAha, it is jiving. Thanks, Elaine. Glad you found me online. More drawings to come including the one of your car (which I' pretty chuffed with). I loved the dancing and don't know how you managed to keep going ALL day!
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone x
Looks like swing dancing! Fun! Love the sketches!
