Guardians of the Galaxy Minimalist Poster

For those who know me, know that I'm a HUGE comic book fan, and I go see every superhero movie that comes out. Now while I prefer DC over Marvel, I tend to at least know the bullet points of the comic the film is based off of. That was not the case with Guardians of the Galaxy. I went into that film knowing absolutely NOTHING about it, and I think that's what made it so amazing! I've seen it twice in theaters already and wouldn't mind seeing it one more time, it was such a great film. Because of this I decided to once again make a minimalist poster! Here it is!

As always enjoy!

Groot - Piece Breakdown

With the new Marvel film "Guardian's of the Galaxy" coming out soon, I recently painted a portrait of one of the main characters of the film, Groot. This post will be a quick and dirty breakdown of the piece.

As always I began with a sketch. I honestly don't know a lot about this character so I had to use a lot of reference to get him to look right.

Next I added in the color. Originally I wasn't planning on keeping the sketch in there, but I kinda liked how it ended up looking so I kept it.

Normally the last step would be to add a background and call it a day, but I felt that the piece was a bit too flat and didn't really stand out.

After some tweaking, I finally got it to a place where I was happy. And there ya go! Groot from start to finish.

As always I hope you enjoyed!
