Description
I wanted to make a movie-poster for the best movie ever, Léon (aka The Professional in the USA), so here it is
If you like this 'poster'/drawing, PLEASE watch the movie, its fantastic!!
Summary of the movie:
Its about Léon (the man in the middle, played by Jean Reno), he's a hitman, and a twelve-year-old-girl Mathilda. Her entire family gets shot down because of a drug-problem, and only Mathilda gets away. Her family got killed by a corrupt agent, Norman Stansfield ('Stan'), played by Gary Oldman (in this drawing on the right). Léon takes care of Mathilda, and he teaches her how to be a hitman, because she wants her revenge on Oldman and his cops.
Its such a brilliant, great, fantastic movie - Ive seen it 14 times already and I still just LOVE it
. It even beats Kill Bill! 
About this drawing:
I used different photos for Mathilda-, Leon- and Stansfield's faces, but not for the clothing: I exactly knew what they looked like because Ive seen the movie many times. XD
Tools:
Grey pencils for sketching,
3 types of fineliners,
My markers
- about 30 different colors.Photoshop:
Contrast, sharpened the faces a little. The lightning spots on their faces are NOT made with photoshop!
That was pretty hard to do with just markers - especially for Stans face, but Im happy with the result. Please FULL VIEW!
Thanks alot!
Kelly

Norman Stansfield is my favorite in this flick. I just love his attitude and the scene where he gets Portman in the bathroom. Yes, I only love villains. :]

SWEET! Fixen to fav. it.
No, i can't watch Leon with anyone, lol. I get real rude and mean, at the person i'm with. What can i say? I don't like someone disturbing/interrupting me when I'm in the moment (who really does?).
If it was on TV, i can watch it with someone, bcuz i'm usually just makin fun of the edited words and how silly they actors sound.
you can see one of my autos of it behind me in [this pic ] (one over my bed... its crooked 
(im fixen to uploadmy 1st DVD i have of Leon.. it broke!!)

I just love this movie.
I mean:
Jean Reno is one of my favourite actors.
And Luc Besson is one of my favourite Directors.
And the script is lovely and unique.
And Natalie is the perfect Matilda.
Did you know, that the movie was actually made for Jean Reno?
The Writer loved him and decided to write a script that just fitted onto him... and he succeded, din't he?

You are absolutely right!!
Jean Reno is fantastic, Natalie Portman is perfect as Mathilda indeed, Gary Oldman is terrific as Stansfield.
And I didnt knew that yet! About the script and Jean Reno. That is so cool to know, thanks! And yes, he certainly did succeeded!!

Nice one Kelly! 
This might sound strange because your intent was probably to make us focus on the characters - but I like the drawing a lot better because you included the curves and bent lines in the skyline buildings, and the wild red sky. Its like a more cartoonish style, and the reason it works for me is because it is a contrast with the more realistic style you used on the faces. So I see those two different styles, and the difference makes me pay more attention to both of them. !! There are even shades of yellow for differently lighted windows! How long did THAT take!
To me, the heads seem a bit larger than normal in proportion to the bodies - which is kind of interesting, because I've seen Hollywood posters done that way before. Its really good that you're doing some of this from memory and your own mind's eye. But, but - fourteen times Kelly?? Fourteen? 
Great work. As always. Of course!

Thank you so much Doug for your great comment!!!!!
It was not really my intention to make the heads bigger than they are supposed to, so I guess thats a little mistake I made.
Hahaha, well, this is a very old movie - I believe its from 1993, so its not that bad that Ive seen it 14 times, since the movie is almost 14 years old!
Thanks again for the comment!!
