Male Ballet Sketches

So I did this project for school about gender relations in sports (for which I had to read an incredibly sexist article, I should add) and at some point I decided to touch on how people judge male ballet dancers. And then I got inspired to sketch some poses. And then I couldn't stop

They've taken a few days now and they're kind of in order (top left was where I started, bottom right were my last few sketches)... I like to think I got better overtime but I dunno Hopefully it at least helped my anatomy a little, though I must say I'm quite tired of drawing the hands with the index fingers pointing up
