Dancing cats stickers

Oana

Hi, I keep being dragged from my own drawing goals to small illustation projects through family and friends. A bit tiresome but also fun at times, it is still practice and it is useful. This time the project was creating a set of dancing cats to be printed on stickers, representing the main irish competition dances. Irish dance Feis approaching at my daughter’s dance school.
It was quite a challenge, because it is difficult to capture the dance in one still illustration, and to the eye of someone not actually dancing the dances, they look preety much all the same So I had a lot of input from my kid, and I watched videos in slow motion, and the dance teacher actually ckecked the cats posture like they were dancers in class - “ this leg straighter.. more point, this leg needs more turn out”
I hope they turned out ok, I quite like them so I wish to share them here. Please tell me wich is your favourite :)) Perhaps there is an irish dancer in the forum? :))))

@Oana These are great! My favorite is the Trad Set. I love her outfit! And the accompanying text

@Oana These are really great! I love Irish dance, but I'm not an Irish dancer. I think my favorite is the reel So much fun movement in that one!

@Stephanie-H It’s based on a dress we have, it’s a “retro” style from the 70’s , very good for traditional dances

@Oana great stickers! Your daughter must be really proud of your work. I'm also not an Irish dancer but I love the hornpipe one where I can just see these incredible fast feet dancing around. And also the one with the click, it really translates the difficulty of pulling that movement off with those little swear drops.

The stickers turned out in time and they look very nice and glossy!
