Soft pastels

I was playing around with some chalk pastels this morning and I created this interesting effect by drawing brightly coloured horizontal lines across the page and then using a peach colour to drag and blend all of the colours into one, down the page. This gives a very interesting effect and reminds me of the clothing and materials than an African tribe may wear. The drawing shows pattern and colour but also gives a 3d effect to the page and I think that it is really effective.

Here they are!
