Franco-Belgian Comic

Uniform clean contour line of constant weight around every figure, prop and background element alike, with no line taper or sketchiness. Flat unmodulated local colour inside the lines; no cross-hatching, no cast shadows, no rendering of volume by shading. Readable, gently rounded shapes with slightly stylised anatomy and clear silhouettes. Palette is bright, even and evenly lit, with warm mid-tones and no atmospheric haze; depth is carried by overlap and scale alone. Composition is even and legible, every part equally sharp from foreground to far background. Lettering is never drawn: no signage, posters, speech balloons or captions in any language.
