Ballet colouring pictures for ''Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'' #2

Both colouring pictures for ''Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'' are done! They're not my best work, but they were a good exercise in tracing and drawing steady lines in different widths (which I still cannot unfortunately). I said I'd post a picture of them when I'd finished but I forgot to take one, and now I've already handed them in. So you're going to have to wait till I get them back! ;)

Ballet colouring pictures for ''Charlie and the Chocolate Factory''

So today I finished the sketches for two colouring pictures for the young kids that dance in our version of ''Charlie and the Chocolate Factory''. During big performances like this there's a lot of waiting going on, which - for most young children - is extremely boring because they don't really know how to amuse themselves without annoying everybody else. That's why our ballet school's director asked me to draw up two colouring pictures to keep the kids quiet. All I've got to do now is trace the sketches with a black fineliner.
Might post the finished drawings on here.

M.C. Escher & Ozplasmic: Bella Italia

Just found this amazing photomanipulation of M.C. Escher's lithograph ''Castrovalva'' from 1930. It was coloured by deviantart user Ozplasmic (http://ozplasmic.deviantart.com/). It's so mesmerizing, I immediately made it my desktop background!
