Pushing My Limits

I always had the attitude that you should know what your limits are. Then go beyond that as much as you can. It's the only way to raise the bar. This next post is doing that in a big way for me. Having done primarily landscapes in the past I have avoided the human form because they usually look horribly disfigured. I mean, Picasso would even shake his head. I am going to attempt a human form of a ballerina stretching. Having done martial arts in the past I can appreciate the  preparation involved just to get ready to practice. They move with such grace and have to be so strong. It's beyond most peoples imagination. Here is the ink sketch for a start.
