More of Those Crazy Jivers - original ink and oil pastel figurative drawing
The first time I saw this jitterbug/jive/lindy step, I was dumbstruck. Maybe the second and third times, too. The guy - usually lower to the ground than this jiver - sort of scoots or hops along while the girl holds on tight to his hand to give him balance. Anyway, it's unbelievable and I just can't help but wonder about his knees. A fun thing, though, and I love it, because I adore what the jivers do as they jitterbug through life. This started as an ink drawing and I was really happy with it. Then, I thought about a little color - that's where the trouble usually starts for me, because my lines end up covered and ruined. But I added just a smidgen here and there, so the lines wouldn't be obscured, and it seems to work??? It's on Bristol board paper, about 9 x 7 1/2". Thanks so much for stopping by!Sold
