I did this illustration while I was in college. It was used as a poster for the Idaho International Dance Festival this year. It went along with the Illustration Friday theme, so I thought I would post it. I might come up with something specifically for IF later this week, but I thought this might be fun for now. In addition, I’ve added some of the process that went along with it…
Here’s the sketch that originally inspired the poster…
Here’s the drawing I used for the final painting…
And here’s some of the value and color comps I did…
This is the final painting in progress…

Very nice. I like how they are kicking up the dust and how you incorporated the map into her skirt. Well done.
This is all so impressive! I love the sketch a lot too! Amazing work here.
The sense of movement! The use of color! It’s all exquisite!
Wow! I realllllly enjoy your original source drawing! What a beautiful piece of spontaneous flow! Gorgeous! I like the end result, but it feels like it’s a bit too tight, too controlled. I love the freshness of your ealier line.
Thanks for posting your process!
