All of the Top Ten

I finally finished sketch cards of all of the top ten. Last weeks episode was incredible, I loved that is ended with Lady Gaga giving Sasha, Melanie, and Sonya her shoes. My vote for America’s Favorite Dancer is with either of these ladies. They rocked the show and do so on a regular basis.

SYTYCD-First Choreographer Card

I am so excited for SYTYCD tonight. We are at our top ten and that means all stars are being introduced! I am hoping to draw cards of a few of them as well. In fact this week I have an all star already drawn. He was my favorite the season he danced and I was very happy to see him brought back to the show as a choreographer.
Here is Travis!

How fun was it to see him as a judge?! His outfits this season have been very dapper.

Then the dancer this week Alexander!

A refresher, how this works. If you want one of the cards donate $5 to The Dizzy Feet Foundation or Dance 4 Your Life Then email me at casey.girard (at) gmail.com a copy of the receipt and I will send you the card of your choice. So far no cards have been taken. Here is a link to the other cards.

Sketches of Dancers

This summer I am changing up my weekly themes completely. Tuesdays are So You Think You Can Dance cards or sketches until the show is over and as I said last week Wednesdays are now Kids instead of animals.

I did break days and posted a bunch of new cards on Sunday. Since, I don’t have new cards today I want to share sketches of poses that didn’t work for the card’s size. I still think they deserve mention. I love drawing dancers, the motion and the shapes they create are joys for me to draw. I am hoping to make some separate pieces of kids dancing from what I have learned drawing the SYTYCD Dancers all summer. I can already tell how much my observations of their movements is improving my knowledge of human form.

A couple of these sketches made it to be cards, some are people that have a card, and two are sneak peaks.

 

 

 

This last one makes me think of <a href=”http://www.justinbua.com/”>Justin Bua</a>, I can tell my lines were influenced by him.

Aside from the SYTYCD cards, I am on a track of drawing more and handling emails and blogs. Therefore, twitter has been suffering. Maybe that will get my attention tomorrow. My handling of social media is to go at them in day shifts. For tonight I must go to sleep. I stayed up until 3am last night, powered by a viewing of the new A-Team Movie and a desire to draw in my studio because it was no longer 90º. I hopefully will have what I was working on done for tomorrow’s post of kids. Until then!

 

Dizzy Feet’s Choice

How do you get my So You Think You Can Dance cards? Donate $5 to the Dizzy Feet Foundation, send me an email at casey (at) caseyg.com of your receipt and address, and I will mail you one card of your choice. (please delete any information you don’t want me to read from your receipt, I’m not trying to gather any of your moneys information!)

So far I have Tadd, Jess, Miranda, and a work in progress of Iveta, yes I am going to draw contestants that where voted off. They still have a place in my heart, especially Iveta, I was so sad to see her go. Hmmm also voted off was Wadi, I guess Debbie Reynolds was able to take him home.

I need to get to drawing these cards! More art cards to come tomorrow or later today.

So You Think You Can Dance – Cards

So. . . I think I can draw, these dancers. I know I can’t dance. It actually caused me to pause this year as I realized I could never try out for this show at this point in my life. I couldn’t attain the needed training before my age cuts me out; if I so chose to go after dancing. I think we all have that moment where we realize all doors of the world are no longer open to us and it’s time to POWER through the doors we have chosen.

So. . . I am going to draw sketch cards of as many top 20 as I can before they are kicked off. I am planning for these cards to go to homes that are not mine, with giveaways and selling some. I haven’t figured out how yet; I am going to work those details out next week!

So. . . for this week hope you enjoyed as much of the show as you could see last night and I hope no one cries too much tonight since FOUR people have to go home!

So. . . without further ado, the cards:


Jess

Miranda

And as seen on my Illustration Friday post, Tadd:

 

IF – Launch

Dancers certainly do launch! Across the stage, through the air, out of a move, into ways that defy gravity. I am always impressed by how much energy can explode out of them.

This is one of a number of sketch cards I am hoping to do this summer surrounding So You Think You Can Dance, for those of you who don’t watch the show this is Tadd one of the hip hop dancer’s of Season 8.

There will be more so check back!
