Another Moroccan figure

I have quite a few photographs of figures from Morocco, I love the colourful clothes and the contrast of light and dark.  This was done with water soluble oil pastels, I have a mix of Caran d'ache, Portfolio and I think some are Derwent ones.  The Caran d'ache are very heavily pigmented, the Portfolio ones are very soft, so it's good to have different crayons for different areas.

Another Moroccan figure, trying to meld the figure into the background.

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.
