The Grand Budapest Hotel Fan Art

I'm a big fan of Wes Anderson and I always like watching his movies over and over again (Moonrise Kingdom, Royal Tenenbaums, Fantastic Mr. Fox). And this autumn, after rewatching The Grand Budapest Hotel, I wanted to draw something.

Gathering reference material for my fanart project of The Grand Budapest Hotel movie — *Gathering reference material*

I started with my most challenging idea - painting the Hotel with acrylics. I used the movie poster as a reference picture. I wanted to make the Hotel more cartoonish, without too many realistic details. So, the painting turned out quite quirky and vibrant.

There are many interesting characters in The Grand Budapest Hotel, each with their own identities and stories. For my small fanart project, I chose two main characters, Monsieur Gustave and Zero, plus Agatha, a baker at Mendl's bakery. I tried to draw characters in my own visual style, focusing primarily on the shape of faces and emotions.
