The final seems to be more a painting solution based on the drawing solutions of the development work.

The light and dark contrast is very effective. I especially like the rendering of the reptilian eye and the chubby little hands.Alice Andreinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07888518453374469521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2985854758369166666.post-66299650588845980922011-05-03T07:29:58.871-07:002011-05-03T07:29:58.871-07:00I didn't know Aesop was ugly.

Your ancient Greek contains all the delight of a forest elf. And the composition is so enjoyable ...
