Die Hard, Fast and Furiously with Lethal Weapons
This is a pictures done during a Masterclass in Lyon Bellecour (december 2016). The idea here was to create a picture as a very advanced storyboard frame, and to show how you can deal with one problem at a time, and obtain an entire illustration with the same level of details avoiding big changes during the process. The demonstration was to block each step like : Composition, Shapes&Drawings, values, Lighting, FX, and finalize the whole pictures with some very located paint over at the end.
