Poster project: Dracula


Took many references to get this one going. Overall, I like it but the likeness is still not where I want it to be. I do not have a solid grip on the new techniques I am using. The background is from an image of the underground crypt at the start of the film but I tried ot be loose, well, loose for me, with it. The red touches were from when I saw the play in the 70s with Louis Jordan. Everything on stage was black and white with one red coloured element. The logo is copied from a title card for the film. One thing I noticed researching these is there seems to be no official logo for any of the films. They differ from the actual film titles ot the posters to the lobby cards.

I like that one red line. It feels like a pointer to the text, the inside of his cape and blood all at the same time.

his ring and eyes are red as well. I am drawing these at 11 x17 inches so details get really small and unnoticed especially when people look at them on their cell phones.
