The process of creating Donnie Yen as Ip Man started with deep research into the character’s distinctive features and movements. The goal was to capture his calm, composed expression while reflecting the intense focus and respect inherent in his martial arts style.

The character model was meticulously sculpted, paying attention to the subtleties of Donnie Yen’s facial features, from his strong jawline to his piercing eyes.
