Yes, Pratt's output and mastery of the art is phenomenal, something to aspire to. The work may be somewhat dated content-wise of course.
His stuff is so great, not easy to find in English these days but wonderful work.
I recall looking at this stuff when young and marvelling at their abilities... something to strive for.
a Hugo Pratt illustration of Corto Maltese surrounded by seagulls.
this kind of mastery is a combination of 'this is all I need to do to draw a seagull' with 'this is all you need to look at to read that it is a seagull' (plus (or more importantly?) a touch of 'and I don't care if you think otherwise')
Lots of talk about age and mastering one's art lately. But for me, the real sign of being a master draughtsperson is to be able to capture the life and character of a seagull with about five rough lines à la Hugo Pratt and Alfonso Font. Once I can do that...
Pro Tip:
Art the shit out of it.
