So pretty. A good addition to your series. The pose is perfectly drawn. Your colour pallet so suits the gentleness of the ballerina's expression as she leans down to adjust her shoes. A very good artwork.

A very nice presentation again with a wonderful ballerina in a nice preparation position - your detail work is so stunning in this picture as there are even tiny points at every simple place which is unusual as technology
your background lets the ballerina stand out so well that your picture is attractive from the first moment - a great piece of art, awesome result

The ballerina looks serious. It seems that she is massaging her angle. She may has strained a muscle or nerve. Your attention to realistic detail is impressive. The pose of the ballerina is accurate for her movement. The colors are adequate. The dark background shows that the dancer is at backstage. The ballerina is well placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

This is such a beautiful piece! I love the contrast of the colours and the detail is stunning. The lighting and shadows add so much depth to it and the style is really unique!

Beautiful artwork in pastel. Love the pose and that which comes through, in your style, from the background and/or texture treatment. Great background with just enough lights and darks.

A good looking image posted here! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of that tired looking ballerina. Suspect she has pulled a calf muscle? Colours, textures and tones are good. Well drawn!

This is beautiful and perfect work. The shading and contour is spot on and I love her position. Its realistic and ethereal at the same time. Well done!

Beautiful artwork here! Nice shading and reflected light. Anatomy of the dancer is well placed and proportioned. Great composition as well. The fabric might appear softer if you smudged it together with your finger a bit. Well done tho
