This is lovely! The colours are so vivid, it looks like an old advertisment. The only thing I can nitpick about is that her left eye (our right) is slightly lower than the other, but that's very minor. There's a very graphic look to this...it looks rather like a postcard. :D

Keep it up!

I agree, this does have the feel of an old advertisement, maybe a travel one ("Visit beautiful Brazil!"). I don't think your casual viewer is really going to be bugged by one eye being off; folks do it all the time in art.

I love the details in her clothing and headdress, they really add a lot of extra movement to the image that probably wouldn't be there otherwise.

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the nice comment!!!You are right about the "old look" . I was inspired by Carmen Mirand. She was a Hollywood Brazilian diva in the 1940... Only she used to wear bananas in her head....
