This was the first idea that came to mind when this week's topic came up. Even though I tried out a couple of other ideas, I kept coming back to this one. With this illustration, I wanted to focus on the gesture of the ballerina's body, as well as the style of drawing technique, which I would consider gesture-like, but not truly a gesture drawing.
BTW, I know a female ballet dancer is called a ballerina, but what is a male ballet dancer called?
Created with brushes and India ink.

Ballerino in Italian is the masculine of ballerina, danseur is the word mostly used. I like your abstract in the previous post too!
Right on! You did capture "gesture".
I like this one a lot. Very nice "gesture."
Thanks for the info, Cathy. I always wondered that.
Thanks, Sandra and Melissa for your kind words.
