Excellent travail !
On mesure la valeur d'un illustrateur à la qualité de ses personnages. Réussir un paysage est donné à tout le monde, faire un beau visage, un portrait vivant et harmonieux est beaucoup plus difficile.
PJ, tu es un artiste, un vrai et c'est rare aujourd'hui !
Marc
Merci beaucoup, Marc.
You are too kind.
All the best
PJ
I'm still enjoying this limited palette of yours, PJ-- amazing how much more can be extracted from color when using less of it!
