I like how you use this brush. And I'm interested in theme you choose. Good luck! :blush:

This will be the closer the final mask might look like
Ill have to think how ill incorporate both light conditions in the final illustration.

I was thinking ,maybe ill delete the idea of the mask.
Ill make a female warrior , based on "las adelitas" wich are the most famous female warrios in mexican history

This will be the outfit, let me know what do you think, or how else would you incorporate the jade mask (this one has some jade bars in the dress )

This will be her look, im convinved it screams mexican

It's really obvious about Mexica here!

This is so far, for the weapons she is carrying a gun from 1895 , i decided that she will be shooting "chiles de abol" or arbol peppers, which are my personal favorites, she also carries some molotov bombs one with hot sauce, other with mezcal and the other with tequila.

Im rethinking my final illustration , these are the poses im considering, my favorites are 1 and 5, what do you guys think can give more motion to the illustration?

right elbow is too high, i think

i found thats how some adelitas posed or grab the gun :smile:

Starting with the details

One recommendation about the composition: it's very rare that composition will work if you hide all focus points near canvas boundaries and keep center of the image empty. Your character is cool, you can move her closer to the thirds, and make a conquistador smaller (in the distance). Right now this is two "stains" of almost the same size. Your progress is fascinating, so I just wanna help you to avoid some mistakes

Thank you, yes i actually disliked my composition, i might change it, its good someone told me before i continue
