When drawing, I imagine Ion Iliescu as being the smiley little man who often gets bored at home and who peppers his life with politics. Here, Mr. Barbu stops. He has just finished his beer and starts drinking the coffee. Being a cartoonist is not so hard as it may seem. You need the sense of humor, some talents, and a sharp spirit to spot events around you.
Style evolves in time.
Generally, cartoons nowadays have fewer details because cartoonists tend to work less. The girl's portrait is now ready. This time, there are no huge ears or goggled eyes. A back view of Ion Barbu - drawing the portrait of a student. There is no such thing.
