Yet another go at the dancer

Still haven't captured the movement but I like the complementary colours of purple and yellow.

Dancer sketch

Another go at the male dancer, turned out a bit heavy.  Having a bit of a problem with my shoulder.

figure in pastel

I was trying to capture the figure, but only in a hazy sort of way.  It doesn't quite work.  I need more lost edges and the background needs to be over the figure in some places.
