Description
woo creative title.um. i hate the wall behind her! it is watercolory and blotchy and hideous.
the rest of the piece was done in markers, which i would've used on the wall but i was afeared i would use up a whole marker just to fill in all that space. so i went cheap and used ugly watercolors instead. >C
anyway.
aili again. i heart contortion very very much.

I think my favorite part about this picture is her gloves.
I always have a particularly hard time drawing the hip area of contortionists, but you seem to have done just fine- and this picture is old. I wonder what the newer bits in your gallery might look like (if there are any). This is overall just an enjoyable piece of work that I am cheered to have been able to see.

the leg under chin looks really long, but otherwise, nice job. My ppl when I draw them in contortionist poses, they have nubbly arms and feet (meaning no fingers or toes drawn) and I don't draw a real face either lol...

My goodness. The shape she's made there is just...so enthralling. Really. I can't stop looking at her legs.
Fave, man. Fave.

I personally think that watercolor effect is nice, Smoothness isn't always the best answer, it gives the picture I better mood I think.Personally I think it wouldn't have looked as interesting if the wall was done in marker. Blotchy effects aren't always bad. Always staying smooth and clean can be.

Thanks!
I wasn't expecting it to be totally smooth and flawless; rather, I was hoping for the blocky, angular texture of marker strokes.

oh man, I really really want to be that flexible. That would be radical. Just like this picture.
I actually really like the blotchish background!

awesome enough to actually be able to bend like that & not just draw it?
i need to work on my own flexibility. xD

D: So, you can't bend like that, right?
My flexibility sucks too, though some people told me I'm pretty flexible. D: I think not.

i was on crutches and had to elevate only one leg after surgery a few years ago, so one leg retained its flexibility and the other leg got a lot stronger.
now i'm lopsided. xD

O_O xD oh, I see. Too much monkeying around back in the day, huh?
;D I bet you used to be a lotttt more flexible back then too, right?
D: I've never broken a bone in my life, that's gonna be so creepy if it ever happens.

I was kinda flexible. Still not amazing though.
I've never broken bones either. The surgery was for an osteochondrial lesion.
