pastel work

I have been making a series of trials again of how the pastel animation will look, and feel that light pastel on darker background will allow me more flexibility when I make the edits. Initially I was working with charcoal and although I liked this I was always a bit dubious about how messy the paper became!! and also not sure how the animation was going to look with the live action.......

somehow the overall look of this is better....and it gives a feel of a 'spotlit' dancer...need to make a couple more sequences of live action now with lighting slightly altered.
