Resolvi distribuir os elementos na pontinha do mapa do Brasil. O fundo branco mostra a abrangência da Caatinga e o rio São Francisco cruza o bioma. Os desenhos mostram elementos da região como o "mandacaru quando fulora na seca"ou na cerca! Para quem canta errado. O tatu-bola, asa branca, ararinha azul e o periquito do certão. A barriguda, os cactos, a faveleira, jitirana e muitos outros elementos no estilo xilogravura.

Teacher PlusWow! It was very beautiful.
I love the woodcut style. I even venture out sometimes too. The high contrast of black and white is very beautiful. The elements are very well done, with a lot of personality in the line.
I have a few detail comments that I think are worth a try:
- One of the things that enrich this style of woodcutting is precisely the irregularity of the line, the organic forms. So, following this logic, I would try to give the same treatment to the text "Caatinga". Draw the letters, instead of typing. This will make everything more harmonious.
- Do you know these tiny details around the tree up there on the right, in the Northeast? I think this is a detail that enriches a lot. I would try to use something similar in the black part of the composition, but with the white details, of course. I think it can bring a little bit of that wood grain texture and make the work even richer.
- In the tree below and to the left of the armadillo, I noticed that you used some kind of gradient on the internal details of the trunk. I think it would be better to keep everything in high contrast, without gradients.
That's it!
Congratulations on the beautiful work!

Hi Mauro!
Thank you so much for the tips! I kept changing the font several times and I didn't reach a conclusion, now it's explained! I also loved the idea of including graphics on the black part, maybe even put it in the font, let's see how it will look.
I didn’t use a gradient but I used that Illustrator stroke that is wider in the middle and tapers off at the ends. It is symmetrical and rounded. I used it in all the strokes but I think that in the longer strokes the tips were very thin giving this aspect of gradient. I didn't even notice it! Good eyes! I'll see how to fix it because it was really weird.
Hugs!
Vanessa
