Petronilo "P.Z." Marcelo is known for delicately detailed faces and figures in simple layouts that are easy on the eyes. Proponents of such a style include J.C. Calauag, Elpidio E. Torres, and much later, Mar Santana. Personally, I find this style quite appealing and P. Z. Marcelo is easily one of my favorite artists of this time.
