My final illustration drawn at Periscope. If you've never seen Louis Malle's Elevator to the Gallows, I suggest you check it out. It's not as good as other film noir/French New Wave films I've seen in my life, but what makes it so unique is the score performed by jazz legend Miles Davis. Among the special features in the Criterion Collection DVD is a small featurette of Davis improvising the score with his trumpet, while watching a scene of Jeanne Moreau wandering through the rain. I was always struck by that moment in the mini-documentary and decided I wanted to draw it.
Thanks to Ben Dewey for the photo reference and his guidance.
