These illustrations are produced by the classic brush and airbrush technique. Every background and character is reproduced in the style of the film.
The scenes are first sketched out, then cleaned up, and traced through onto art-paper. The characters are masked then the backgrounds are airbrushed, using gouache or watercolour.
Finally the characters are coloured and key-lined.
