Two-Hour Art Sessions

These are some pictures I did of my friends over Fall Break. I used my Chartpak markers (for the first time since last semester! Yay!) on trace paper with an artist pen for the outlines. I am really proud of them!

This last picture was actually done by my boyfriend, Jaleel. Isn't it great!!?? I love him so much! I'm really proud of him and all the work he put into it!

You Can Dance if You Wan'to

My boyfriend, Jaleel, is thinking about getting a tattoo that incorporates music and dance. So, going off some details that he's told me, I drew this sketch of a dancer in a pose that loosly resembles a treble clef. It's too much detail for the kind of tattoo that he's wanting, but by itself, I really like this idea!

Studio 322

At yet another dance rehearsal with Jaleel, I decided to try out my new grey-scale markers. Jaleel is on the left, then Jennifer and Chamika, his two partners in the dance Mama Meets Mary.  At the moment, they are stretching while watching a video to inspire some of their movements in the dance.

Jump Baby!

These are some pics I drew of my boyfriend practicing leaps for a dance.  These legs don't do him justice though! Yum! [Ignore the class notes! ha!]

Dance Baby!

This drawing was inspired by the dance Mama Meets Mary choreographed by Marcus White.  For months, my Jaleel rehearsed for this performance and the first time I saw it I couldn't help but cry!  And the same for the second time I saw it... and the third!

You Betta Dance!



In February, one of my friends was performing in a dance at the Museum of History for a program celebrating black history.  These are some sketches I took during the performance, with the last two being pictures that I developed from two of the skethes.

College Life


These are some figure studies I did at school.  The dance department is an unceasing source of inspiration.  But, even the mundane gestures around campus prove to be a good challenge.

Behind the Scenes

This past semester was a busy one for my baby!  As a dance major, he was always in some rehearsal or another.  Outside of school, he was even choreographing for his hometown's production of High School Musical 2.  And everywhere he went, I went!  These are just two of the scenes I captured in one of our typical days!
