YOUNG ONES POSTER. 2014.
Gouache, watercolor, and acrylic on illustration board, 16 × 24″.

I've posted a few details of this poster on Twitter, but I figured it's time to show the whole thing on the blog. I got this gig when the director, Jake Paltrow, saw my Iron Man 3 poster at his sister's place (she happened to play Pepper Potts). There was a chance that it would be used as the theatrical poster, but it was not to be, at least in the States. I'll have to save the process post for a later date, but it was painted in much the same way as my other painted work. And yes, I painted those lens flares!

  2. Dude... how did you do the lenses flare especially those spots? Did you mask it off early in the process? Or for the spots did you get crazy and drop a little bleach on it?

  3. Nope, just painted it. The trick is to do the color study in Photoshop, then print it out and match the color. The only place I needed a little post-production help was on the blue on the left and right of the sun. Couldn't get back to the white of the illustration board.

  4. Nice. I know it always comes down to good planning but still impressive knowing you didn't need to mask off anything. Also thanks for the detail shot of the gunman's hands.
