The Impossible - Tree -

"The Impossible" has broken all box office records in Spain. I finished my work in the movie years ago and at last I can show some of it here, since it has been already published in the astonishing new book of the movie. During my time working in the movie I did around 100 different concept drawings and I will publish some of them on this and upcoming posts. Today I want to show you some of the drawings that were used to design the tree where Maria and Lucas climb after the wave.
