This is really cool, Norman! I'm really digging the grungy textures and even Lisa's hairdo. And very interesting to know about the significance of "yellow" and "stripes" in film. Whenever I draw stripes it's only because it's the easiest pattern to create other than polka dots
Thank you for sharing your process!

@Norman-Morana wow! Thank you for this.

How cool! Thank you!! And interesting about the stripes. Maybe all those preppy stripes from the 80s were saying more than we thought!

Taking the SVS live classes has helped me get into the habit of thumbnails! It was tough at first (I could maybe do 5 in an hour then needed a break) but now I can doodle out at least 5 ideas in minutes! And my compositions are better for it.

Nice work on the illustration! Thinking about value early on helped it become a strong piece. And it's great storytelling that the object causing the destruction is off-screen, gets my imagination going.

@Neha-Rawat Thank you, Neha! There's all kinds of little tricks like that you could do with color! It's fun when you can pick up when a film maker is using color is a specific way. The movie Amelie is a great example. I think it was in that movie that whenever you saw something blue enter a scene something good was about to happen.

Hi @Norman-Morana, thank you for sharing your process! Most people have no clue how much goes into an illustration! I am taking notes from your lesson!
