Black Jack and Pinoko waltzing

Black Jack and Pinoko waltzing. Circa 2006.

The image song for this pic was Onizuka Chihiro's "Waltz with Me"-for some reason I felt it was Pinoko's voice, with the sense of tragic impossibility of unrequited love.

But as usual I've difficulty drawing serious and since it was spring, ended up being bright and pastel. Come to think of it I don't do pastel a lot either, so perhaps that's unusual for me...
