Alien: Resurrection (1997) Directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet This is a submission for the @HandLetteredABCs challenge. I came across this thanks to @surbhithesrivastava, and thought I'd give it a try. I've never tried my hand at calligraphy before, but this is an interesting concept. One is supposed to do a hand lettered drawing of an alphabet every day, from 1st to 26th February. I thought I'd use those letters as prompts, for the movie choices. And, I'll draw the letter the way the title of the movie appears, along with my regular sketch. Let's see how long I can keep this up. For today, the letter "A" - it's "Alien: Resurrection" that I picked. Among the first four solo "Alien" movies (before they brought Predators in), this is the oddest one. It's from a French director, written by Joss Whedon (before we knew him as the writer-director of "The Avengers", at that time, he was the creator of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"), has a weird blend of humour, action, icky gore, and horror. This is a sketch of Ron Perlman (@perlmutations) as Johner from the movie. If his face looks weird, that's because well, he has an interesting face (haha), and also, I guess much of the movie was filmed with wide angle lenses. I saw an interesting video essay / blog post, as per which director Jeunet preferred to use very wide focal lengths, which tend to exaggerate objects that are closer to them. As per that post, the movie employed focal lengths of 14mm, 18mm and 25mm. This sketch was done with an Artline 0.3 pen, and I used watercolour pencils to add a bit of colour to it.
