Degas Practice in Charcoal
Hello Friends!
Yesterday I decided to get back into practicing drawing copies of Degas’s ballerinas without tracing them. I did this one by just eyeballing it, but I am going to try it again using a different method to get the proportions more accurate, also without tracing.
I worked on gesture sketches of ballerinas in different poses in charcoal yesterday, too. I will share those tomorrow.
Have a wonderful day and give someone you love a big hug! 😀

Thanks, Clare. The one in color is just a photocopy printout of Degas’s original, though. 😁

Not too bad at all for an “eyeball job.”
