Thanks for posting this Matthew. Being an illustration major myself - I always love seeing this type of work, especially in it's hay day! I often notice that Leyendecker employs multiple techniques. It seems to me that he was SO good that he mixed things up a lot just to keep from getting bored. Thanks again...
