The bright colours emphasize the detail of the young female's face by providing a type of border to bring the focus to the observer.

Every inch of the piece is full with detail, from the shading of the hair strands to the cross-hatching on the female's face to give the effect of shadow amongst her features.

The choice of colours adds a general sort of peace to the illustration by being bright and happy shades of the colour. This gives you an idea of the sort of character that is illustrated. From how she is designed in this piece, she could easily be described as fun loving, peaceful, vibrant and bright.
