Artistic ability of the VMs illustrator

[Searcher]

I experimented - since I am not an artist - a while ago. I managed the plants well, the stars and wiggle-lines took some practice - but the human/animal figures were beyond my learning abilities I would say the guy had some training as an artist.

Hi Ellie!
So, you understand me.   Yes, even such nymphs as in the VMs require some training, but to draw figures (human or animals)  in different poses and from different angles is a real skill.
