IF: Instinct

Some say that artistic talent is instinctive, others say all art can be taught.
Sally doesn't really care. All she know is she loves to dance!


This is the other half of my ballet dancer drawings. (This was actually the "daydream" of the ballerina in the previous post).

I really like this one. This is the first one that I have done that I personally feel could be found in a childrens book. I still have a ways to go, but I am excited about what's ahead! Below is the original sketch.
