YSYS: Dancing Hippo

Tap-Dancing Hippo

(So I think my drawing is ready to paint, and then I realize I can draw it better!  Today I redrew the dancing hippo... check him out!)

"Spinning does not help my feet,
I move to a different beat!"

Here was my very first sketch of this scene haha...




And then I got these guys going...



This is the one I did today.  I like him best:



INSPIRATIONAL IMAGES:

Fred Astaire and Savion Glover



Arms up, 
Feet up, sideways, all over, 
Head tilted, 
Cane.

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

Sing like no one's listening, love like you've never been hurt, dance like nobody's watching, and live like its heaven on earth. 

~Mark Twain

  1. Nice movement there, Ginny! The one you did today looks like he's doing hip-hop.

  2. Dear Ginny,

    I like the images very much! It is hard to depict movement in one picture. I like the humor in your hippo!

    Best wishes!
