Feeling the Passion
July 24th, 2009 § 21 Comments
I sketched this for Illustration Friday’s theme TANGO…
And I’m hoping like crazy that I’ve managed to side step at least some of the cliche. Although I’m wondering if that can only be done by the nimble feet of the worlds greatest dancers. This subject is truly loaded in cliche!
But the drama and passion inherent in Tango is hard to resist. So I borrowed a little from the fight aspect and a little from the dance, and had fun ripping up the flowers.

I love this one so much! The line and color is so perfect, and the man actually looks like someone in the movie
Sorry, late to comment – love this pic! The line, movement and colours are great. And I particularly love her shoe!
Hi Alisa,
thank you for dropping by my blog and leaving such a nice comment- how did I miss your creative spaces before?
Your illustrations are delightful – I loved Drifting! and I love the way you describe the creative process- very often just like me: munching along…
Have a good weekend,
Annamaria
