Lately I wanted to do a tribute illustration for the movie: Top Gun.
The sequel to this cult film from the 1980s was released in theaters recently (Top Gun: Maverick) and was eagerly awaited given the wait due to the pandemic, which prevented filming from being completed.
It all started with an initial pencil sketch. As a reference I took several pictures of the F-14 Tomcat jet and the most representative images of Tom Cruise on the set
The next steps are in sequence:
- Inking
- Basic shades
- Adding lights and shadows
- Final details
Everything was processed in vector imaging (Adobe Illustrator)
Thanks for watching!
