"Trapped"

Since I started getting back into drawing, I've been doing a whole lot of figure drawing using the 30 Second Drawing tool at posemaniacs.com, which I've found really useful. Starting out I did mostly 60 second drawings, and over time have been getting more comfortable with faster ones.


But this isn't one of those figure drawings; I've also been doing one or two portraits using reference photos for each figure drawing session I do.


This particular drawing is the first of a few self-portraits I've done so far. The original image is taken from a video of a dance rehearsal for a contemporary piece I performed called Trapped. Did I mention I'm a dancer?
