I give myself very good advice,
But I very seldom follow it,
That explains the trouble that I'm always in,
Be patient, is very good advice,
But the waiting makes me curious,
And I'd love the change,
Should something strange begin,
Well I went along my merry way,
And I never stopped to reason,
I should have know there'd be a price to pay,
Someday...someday,
I give myself very good advice,
But I very seldom follow it,
Will I ever learn to do the things I should?
Will I ever learn to do the things I should?

Oh my goodness! Amazing!

First you should know that I think this is amazing and I could never compare. Now I hate to be a downer but as I stare at this beautiful painting longer and longer I notice something with the proportions. I'm not sure if I am not seeing the complete angle but something seems off and I just can't put my finger on it. Something to do with the face or surrounding area. I only bring this up because I noticed you left a comment saying you appreciated helpful criticism. So please don't think I am a hater.

Amazing how you could even capture her facial expression, and body language. to me it looks like an "I'm-going-to-give-you-a-show,-and-you're-going-to-like-it" expression.

I admire the precision with which you have drawn her contour, and her beautiful ballet costume :)

Well done!
