Waiting in the wings

Yes, the light and shade are captured well and her shoulder blades do look as though they are wings enclosed while she waits poised well.

Lovely picture well drawn.

Love the treatment of light and shadow and the dress and figure are beautifully sketched Christine.

A lovely drawing and light and shade captured well. The shoulder blades are particularly good. If I might make a suggestion ... I would add a shadow perhaps round the feet so she's grounded?

Beautifully drawn Christine. The use of light and shade is really good.

I think you've got it, Christine!

Lovely drawing and yes, a shadow to ground her. I remember I forgot that with a painting of my granddaughter, once added it finished it off well.

Super drawing Christine, and the back view makes it different.

Thank you all for taking the time to comment. Yes, Heather and Marjorie totally agree, that’s what I should have added, a shadow to ground her. Will do it now.

A lovely drawing Christine, great light and shade and you have the stance perfectly.

Thank you Russell.

Lovely drawing. When I saw this, I thought of Degas. Well done.

Super drawing Christine, lovely shading.
