Artist's Comments

I've been a slump lately-- with work stressing me out I didn't have the energy to start one of my takes-a-week 'illustrations' where I come up with an image from scratch, so I decided to take a break from that stuff and draw something from a photo for once.
Rachel is a tribal style bellydancer from San Francisco, and she's kind of my idol. I was fortunate enough to take a class with her and see her perform the weekend before last, and I discovered that in addition to being probably the greatest tribal soloist in the world, she's also this unbelievably sweet, genuinely kind person. I have a freakish psuedo-crush on her.
More info on Rachel, and the reference for this drawing, can be found at [link]

Verreh well done! I wanted to take bellydancing but I don't have the money right now. Your realisms are really nice! I love how the hair came out!

Thanks a lot!
Bellydancing, especially tribal, is so much fun. If you ever get another chance to take a class, I can't recommend it enough.

I like bellydancing... too bad that I'll never be able to do that. Dancing's not my thing... anyways, great work, I really like it. :clap:

I was glad to read your comment, because I'm always afraid everything I draw will end up looking like anime. ^_^; So thanks!
