In the book Disneyland Paris: From Sketch to Reality (by Alain Littaye, Didier Ghez), there is a small image of a great piece of concept art for Pirates of the Caribbean ride. I really like the energy in the shot, so I thought I would try see if I could capture a little myself.

Click for full size - if you dare

While I’m happy with the way it turned out I’m not happy with the way it scanned. I did this on vellum; with inking on the front and marker color applied to the back. This method gives it a certain luminosity which is hard to capture with the scanner. It’s this color effect that really is the point of the exercise, and in the full-size (click the above image) you can see some spots of unfortunate inking.

Hope you like it.
