🩰JUST DANCE🩰 | Page 2-3 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The official hashtag for this project is #mfa_justdance 😊 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My original idea was to have a ballet still-life as a background image, but then I decided: I prefer to draw people to things. So, instead the background is a Swan Lake prima ballerina — which I believe is the role every ballet dancer longs for — having seen many ballets @nationalballet and most of the dance movies ever produced 😁. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Recently, I’ve also seen a presentation for “Bunheads” by @mistyonpointe at BookCon, so I decided to use her as the dream inspiration. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The ribbon that tells Ellen’s timeline is actually SPOILER ALERT 🚨 a ribbon from her ballet shoe which is shown on the last page of the book🚨 SPOILER ALERT ENDS. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📝 This is not the final illustration but another Final Sketch/Color Test. The final illustration will be painted in watercolor. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🤔 So, what do you think? Constructive criticism is always welcome. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . . . #ballerinaart #balletpicturebooks #balletbook #newpicturebook #milifayart #cutepicturebook #cute #authorillustrator #illustrationoftheday #illustrationinprogress #illustrationinspiration #illustration #art #instaart #artinprogress #oc #babyballerina #swanlake #growingup #dancerslife #conceptart #characterdesign #storytelling https://www.instagram.com/p/CB3qc9LDkPT/?igshid=n5jkw3s6rc3f
