The other title for this image is, “See Sarah Dance”. I didn’t take this photo, but when I saw the image of my friend dancing, I had to draw it! I’m experimenting with commissioned portraits, and this was good practice. I blew up the photo (by Liz Valverde) to 11″x14″ and drew on top of that. I also edited the colors of the photo a bit.

I agree. She’s an amazing dancer. I didn’t take the photo, but I had to draw those lines.
