The sketch-set from balletmet

Starting out poses-dancers were stretching out and getting instructions from the teacher. I jumped right in and started laying out shapes and maybe was a bit too over zealous with  my marking.
I pulled back a little loosened up and worked on my foreshortening while the dancers were rolling on the ground. These felt pretty good and seemed to flow out of me pretty natural.  
 A couple of poses when the dancers were half bent over tried capturing the energy of the pose and again work on foreshortening  maybe should have loosened up some more? I don't know.
Focused on the one male student in the class while they were "prancing" across the floor I'm pretty happy about these (even though he lacks a head on both figures d'oh)

  2. as Shannon said, you picked great poses, and you do a good job in varying your lines, especially in the first few drawings of this set.

  3. David,
    Yes - the form in these is solid and you have a good sense of drawing the foreshortened figure. Please continue this. I would encourage you to not be so concerned about placing an even darker contour over your lighter line foundation. Use it to your advantage and create more line variety. let the darker line inform the viewer where weight is stressed or where you want the eye focus.
    Good work. Try not to make your figures headless.
