I've been going to a couple yoga classes recently, for a variety of reasons. The first of which being that I just wanted to become more active. I live a very inactive lifestyle, working at computers all day and night, and the idea of working intense exercises with only what you have built in your body was very intriguing. I soon learned that it also welcomes concentration and confidence in yourself and discourages judgement. All in all, it's very enjoyable, and the larger ratio of women in the class is certainly easy on the eyes

So anyway! The idea came up that it might be neat having some of these bird characters do similar poses. So here's my girl Seana in a rendition of the half-moon pose. I have only been in two classes so far, and this is one of the more interesting poses we got into already. It's very neat because you start with some foundational stances and then shift and shift two or three steps ahead into this. Needless to say, I could not pull it off, especially when you have to hold these for well up to a minute, breathing regularly. But when it comes to birds and their lighter frames, balancing in general would probably not be as much of an issue.

Also, Seana's colouration changes every single time I draw her x) Bleh. This started out as a lineless picture, but it wasn't really working so I had to throw them back in. It is very difficult to get that nice turquoise colour on her using my pencil crayons =o She always turns out a bit more green this way. Ah well, more birds in funky poses are planned soon.
