| Portrait Comparison - Male vs Female |
 |
It seems like a lot of people are either better at
drawing women and have trouble with men, or
vice-versa. Usually females have an easier time
drawing females and males have an easier time
drawing males. So I wanted to do a side-by-side
comparison of some of the differences when drawing
males compared to females. I know that the
presentation is a bit weird and awkward, but it's
the best way I could think of to show the
differences. I included a colouring portion to
show some of the concerns that need to be taken
into account when colouring also. I had no idea
what to call this, hence the crappy title.
Hope it helps some people.

What we call belly dance is a theatrical version
of the social folk dance done in Egypt and other
Middle Eastern countries. Its an expression of
celebration and fun done by both sexes.
The perofessional version we are use to seeing was
developed in the nightclubs of Cairo in the
1930's. It has been done almost exclucively by
women because it is tied into the tourism market
where the majority of the customers in the
nightclubs are male. In recent years, men have
began to join their sisters on stage as well. The
first modern male dancers began in the U.S.A. in
the late '60's and 1970's, then spreading to
Europe in the '80's and '90's. Now the numbers of
male dancers is increasing world wide.
Tito Seif known as Egypt's only professional male
Oriental/belly dancer. He is the most acclaimed
Oriental dancer in Egypt's popular resort town
Sharm el Sheikh in the Sianai.
He is being sought out more and more in Cairo and
Alexandria to perform in weddings and othere
special eventsI. When I spoke to him this summer
he was on his way to perform at a saint day
celebration in Alexandria. I filmed this
performance in Giza, July 2005.
I've been told that there are at least two more
guys performing in Egypt's Red Sea resort towns,
but I haven't seen them. In any case, Tito is
definately the first man in modern times to
perform this dance in a professional, rather than
social setting for the general public, Egyptian
and foriegn alike.
