Conchero

Concheros are Mexican traditional dancers with heavy Mesoamerican influence. They are sometimes refered to "Aztec dancers", though the dance is not strictly speaking Aztec or indigenous. It's not uncommon to find them in public squares and parks anywhere in Mexico.

I have wanted to draw them for a while now, but shivered at the thought of working through the feathered headdresses. Now with the Mexican Independence festivities having passed by, I finally mustered up the courage, and am really pleased with the result.
