    haaaa! She does look a litte tipsy... I like the girl on the left; I was imagining she's a ballerina when I was drawing.

    Nifty!

    I really like the linear quality you've got going here. Reminds me of Lautrec.

    You might really be able to make the composition "pop" by cropping the top slightly. I think it would play up the great shapes of their hair a bit more

    just a thought...

    You're close! The inspiration was actually Theophile Steinlen.

    The final one has ornamentation from the Pabst can on the top and bottom, so no cropping is necessary.

    Thanks! Yay! I like comments!

    I adore this! Lol! They actually don't look like they're in pain, because believe me, when we used to this it was pain! Wonderful details, right down, to the pins that go in the hair! This is a winner.
