Topolino #3291 cover (2018) - Scrooge McDuck, Huey, Dewey, and Louie

This is the published cover of Topolino #3291; as you can easily guess, it was for the 2018 Christmas.

It shows Uncle Scrooge as Santa and Huey, Dewey, and Louie as Santa's little helpers, the elves, coming out from the bag with gifts.
I'm always stunned at Freccero's skill in keeping everything perfectly balanced, whether it is a complex, rich in detail, picture or a simpler one. And Disney characters can't look better than this.

Also, the ink wash surely adds depth and volume to the characters.

In the additional images, you can find the published, digitally colored piece as well as the pencil prelim.
