Title: Tropical Soup Opera
Name: Antonio Caparo
Country: Canada
Software: Photoshop

I started this image a few years ago, while on travel in Cuba. I always made lots of face sketches from people around. Then I added more elements and other faces automatically. At the end it came to my mind those tropical soup operas so popular in Latin America full of traumatic and complicated love triangles -sometimes more than triangles. I hope you like it!
Cheers!

Hi everyone!
Nice to have you back. Thanks for your comments.
Yes, it's nce to go back to your home country topics. I spent most of my time
drawing sci-fi and fantasy themes so making this one was great. Thanks a lot!

I love it. The way you caught the background and while distant keeping it so near to hear. It simply touches me. I can clearly feel the mood and atmosphere. Wow, this is so long ago I had this. Good work. :)

Hi Everyone!
Thanks a lot for the feedback. I'm really glad you like it!
Yes, I use to work a lot on hair. I can't stop loving those flowing curled and (apparently) disordered hair since I saw the masters of Art Nouveau for the first time. Although this is not art nouveau I always have them in mind. I also prefer the solid cartoon-like approach instead of the hyperrealistic style.
Thanks again! See you around!
