Description
This would be another addition to my larger sized formats for my ballet/ballerina Series doodles I had had shared on Instagram.
In search of the files on my archives I have found that I have actually furthered the image post sharing it. But this form of it literally looks more appealing than the later mentioned. So for another date I shall try to complete this pose and share it as well.

Beatiful image.

Thank you

I have enjoyed the series, mostly as a way to express the poses and movement in the dance. You seem to think of them as anatomical studies, but I find the anatomy much less appealing than the expressive energy. This drawing in particular seems almost like a gesture drawing, virtually abandoning the dancer altogether in favor of the dance itself. You describe it as unfinished, but I think it is my favorite so far precisely for this reason.

Such comments as these are simply priceless and I can't thank you enough for your time and your input!
In a way: yes.. they were such as to improve anatomy in structural fomation but as you have so generously complimented: They were more gesture oriented as it is the dance that I am in love with. There is something in it... in the way the pose/posture and elegance are all dynamically witnessed that it is something even a video camera can not always correctly depict (Or at least how I choose to see it when watching a recital) which makes it a physical composition I fail to relate in any other such expressive activity... Possibly a human controled rendition can better present what emotions one can feel while watching that a beautiful dance... Such as painting or sculpture.
I am not saying (and I believe that I can not say) that I am capable of such. But this doodle was of those that actually had most my efforts on capturing the dynamism with every stroke that makes it... As I have tried to force a balance or a strain or other factors of a dancers daily routine that should be immortalized but can not since it is a feeling you feel rather than describe.
As of the first moment I have shared this image: I had always hoped so much to read words as those of yours... And had thought that I simply failed to give any of it across... Which is possibly still the case. But you are just very sensative and deductive pretty much tuned to how I would hope for a spectator to be.
As for the "finished" bit... it has been 5 years since this piece is what it is now before you. And since then... I have not been able to go a step further. Hence It appears that we are in the same side on thinking that the image is as is: complete.
Thank you AGAIN for your kind words and your thoughts on the drawing. They mean so much to me.

The transition of sketch at the pointed to, to the outstretched form of her body against the background it quite lovely.
