Today we will create a movie poster inspired by “Legend of The Guardians: The Owls of Ga’hoole� movie using Photoshop, stock photos, brushes and Paint Tool SAI

Joshua Smith, aka Hydro74, takes you through how he created his latest work, based around his regular motifs of skulls and swirls mixed with this spring/summer’s illustration icon, the owl.

One of my favorite TV shows of all time is Twin Peaks and one of its most memorable lines is "The owls are not what they seem." Inspired by that ominous truth I decided to create a little illustration. I chose a rather non-spooky scene set at dusk, with a curious owl sitting on a branch and some scenery in the background.
