Again I experimented with the same materials but with slightly different outcomes in mind. Because Earth is a solid material I wanted the colours to be quite solid and so focused on trying to achieve this with the materials I had.

| Watercolour |
Surprisingly, I really like the effect of the watercolour and the texture it creates. I also feel that I managed to create quite a solid colour without it being too bold and bright, which is a good thing, as it will work in synchrony with the water character and not draw too much attention away from the other character. Another plus is that the material is really quick and easy to use, which will save me time when animating.

| Chalk Pastels |
Again, I'm not a lover of the chalk pastels, as the colours are very strong and bold and they're very messy to use. However, again I love the texture, as I did with the last character and this material is something I will keep in the back of my mind and mention in my interim crit tomorrow.

| Coloured Pencil |
The coloured pencil is another favourite of mine, as I really love the texture and the tones that I can create with them. Overall I can create much more tone and variation with the coloured pencils but this takes a lot more time. Because the animation is only going to be 20 seconds long, I will have to decide whether or not this much tone and detail is needed or whether I should tone down on the tonal detail to focuc on making a good background to match the tone of the characters.
Hmm, decisions, decisions...
