Watercolor + gouache Circus girl illustration art

Watercolor + gouache mixed media illustration on 100% cotton paper. I didn't make any sketches for this artwork, there was some general picture in my head and I decided to deal with it in the process. The fundamental thing was to make the character look vintage. I searched a different vintage/victorian women's dresses/costumes and combined them to generalized one. In the middle of the work, I thought about whether to go to the end with a Victorian theme or add a Circus also. Well, since the Circus theme asked for itself, I didn't resist.
