Inspiration-- Color Script for "Up"

Hey everyone!
Keep at it with those like/dislike writings! Remember, you need to write 200 words on someone you like, and another 200 words on someone you dislike. At least 400 words total!
Here's a little extra fun & inspiration to get you through the weekend--
Lou Romano, besides being an awesome illustrator, is an animation production design artist for Pixar and has worked on many of their films (Up, The Incredibles, Monsters Inc.) When working on Up, he created the color script for the entire movie. It's sort of a cross between a storyboard and really finalized color sketches, but its amazing to see the whole story condensed and look and how the color choices affect the moods and emotions of the story. Take a look here! And then check out the rest of his work on his blog http://louromano.blogspot.com!

Class assignment & Inspiration resources

You all made it through the first critique! It only gets better from here!
Homework assignment:
Final image 8.5x11 or larger, any proportion. When you're doing your final, it's generally better to use a larger piece of paper than you need and then tape off the area of your image. You'll get a nice clean border & you'll be able to "see" the boundaries of your image. (same as drawing a box around your sketches)
Blog assignment:
Find one illustrator you love (or really like) in your Illustration Now book, and write 200 words on why you love them (color, subject, composition, etc.). Find another illustrator that you hate (or really dislike) in your Illustration Now book and do the same thing, 200 words. 400 words or more, total.

Color artists we looked at in class:

Tomer Hanuka
Sam Weber
Jonathon Burton
Josh Cochran (also on page 64 of your book)
Tadahiro Uesugi

Also, it seemed like a lot of you were having trouble with composition. It's really the hardest part about illustration for illustrators of any level, but it makes a huge difference in the end! Here's a resource that may be helpful:

Fundamentals of Composition Part 1 (multiple scans like the image above from a 1950's artists book--proves there is no age limit on good design!) Don't forget to click the link towards the bottom for part two!

Have a great week!
