Kaamulan drawings

'The Filipino throws himself into group activities with great enthusiasm.' was going to be the catchy title but its just a cartoon and therefore needs no title, right?

In the parade a few weeks ago the male dancers, every now and then, would do this huge shout-and-dash sequence which was actually very cool.



Later, but before i had looked at my photos, I tried to do a small pencil drawing of one of the female dancers. This is the sequence. My drawing of people is fairly random - it usually starts with an eye or two and works down from there.





Interesting how different she looks with her eyes fully drawn!

There's some major problems with her pose and costume, but it was never really meant to be a 'good' drawing... its purpose was more ejust to capture the feel and general ambiennce that I remembered from some of the girls.
