Earth VS. the Flying Saucers

This is an illustration from one of my sketchbooks, inspired by the 1956 science fiction film called Earth VS. the Flying Saucers. The special effects in the film were animated by Ray Harryhausen, and this was the first movie where Harryhausen animated mechanical objects. I really love the aesthetic to the old science fiction movies, and visually they still look striking and artistically distinct today.

This illustration was made using watercolours, pencil, and different types of charcoal.
