This is beautiful the way you have painted her. I like the coloring and the detail in this. The shading is excellent. I like the way you used the same colors that you see on her in the background. I like the way you blended the colors together. An excellent work of art. Good luck in the contest.

Would love this in a frame in my house. Would like to see the left side of her face a little smoother but the colors are wonderful her hair looks good. What a great job you did. Love it

    Thank you very much for your kind review and you input. I have a look at the left face side and see what I can do.

I continue to be impressed with what can be done with digital art. This portrait is nicely detailed and well balanced. The colors and background tones are very appealing. I like the expression on her face which you have reflected. She may be in a sad situation, however there is a subtle hint of contentment in her smile. Thank you for sharing your story and this young Mayan woman.

A most attractive portrait of a lovely woman, so nicely dressed. The pink shawl is done very well, and the flowers in the hair tie the colors all together. I like the pose here- her head going one direction and eyes another. You have achieved a lovely impressionistic effect.

This digital piece has a very "painterly" feel about it. The colours you have used are rich and feminine and I especially like that the pink you used did not wash out her facial features but rather enhanced them and made her skintone look warm and inviting. Her eyes tell a good story and the impact of her gaze in enriched by the fact that you have her head turned away from her gaze. Your background colour compliments the center of interest and creates depth. This piece has good story telling capabilities! Thank you for sharing! Crystal

    Thank you very much. I am happy you have a painterly feel. It is indeed painted like an traditional painting: scratching and than brush stroke by brush stroke. Just that I move the brushes with my fingers on a pet.

Very good job. You caught the lighting perfectly. It comes in on the left and travels up to highlight her face just right. Good shading and you picked good colors for the background to compliment the subject!
