The edited illustrated face:
LESS IS MORE! Don't over render with Prisma!
Suit with stripes:
The stripe follows the body contour. It follows folds, wrinkles, movement of the body.
Always see the body beneath!
Drawing the face in an very edited version, just marker, shadow shapes:
A face could always stay like that in a drawing.
The face continued:
Be always careful with how much Prisma rendering you ad in a face: Most of tye time, less is more.
