The main difference between any adjective and a pronoun is that an adjective describes a noun, a pronoun replaces a noun. This is true of a proper adjective as well. Examples:
I like Asian art very much. It has been perfected over many centuries.
The word 'Asian' is a proper adjective describing the type of art. The word 'it' is the pronoun that replaces the noun 'art'.
