Do you do these dancing drawings from memory Jim? Is your knee under her back, to pivot on?

Thanks Ibolya, Gudrun and Linda. Yes Linda, she'd roll over the support knee. Some I do from memory or impression, some I see a pic or impression and rough sketch it. ( I did that with the above roughly using a pic of Argentine Tango).I've always loved dance (and practised it, been to many ballroom classes etc, including Spanish dance) and try to put my own body into the shapes to get a feel for them before sketching. My sketches are fast and careless without any attempt at photographic accuracy. Mainly, it's for fun although I can be serious on odd occasions. (-:

Terrific dancers, Jim!

Wow, what a pose!! Impressive work Jim.

Thanks, Seok, Cesare and Margaret for the comments. Appreciated.
