Day 1: Style Frames and refining your Storyboards
What are the concept artists communicating in each of these frames?
How are they doing it? What else can we infer from the information provided?
Today's Task:
Refine/redraw 4 - 6 storyboards describing the arc of your story. We will use these storyboards in photoshop after the break to begin layering color and value, so the stylistic approach should be made clear in these boards - we won't have much time for wiggle room after this. This is a great moment to incorporate what we have learned about our character after doing a deep dive last week.

I will submit drawings for critique by our guest artist this evening, as well as a few questions from the group.
Day 2: Color Scripts
What are these color palettes communicating to us/the audience? How is color being used like words in a story, cues in body language, or the specificity/arc of a soundtrack? How does each concept artist create a cohesive color language that is unique and specific to that world?
Today's Task:
There will be markers + pastels, paper and tracing paper to do some color play and begin getting a sense of the kind of story you want to tell using color as a language. We will do a bunch of studies and try each of our storyboards in multiple color relationships until the language feels clear. Having this part worked out will be immensely helpful when we get onto the computer - too many choices creates confusion and overwhelm!
