brave characters disney without background

I also really like the way the frames are shaded and the way they jump between colour, marker and simply pencil. I feel that it helps to portray that, that particular shot is a close up of Merida's face and it also draws the attention to Merida in this scene, which I think is necessary as there is another character in the background (I could be totally wrong though). I also really like the use of colour in the second example. This is also something I really want to try particularly in more detailed scenes, as it means I'd be able to get more detail in the action of the character without having to put arrows everywhere. Not only is the drawing style and technique very clear but the way each frame is drawn is also extremely clear, so clear in fact that camera directions aren't even used. This allows for a great deal of clarity and understanding and is definitely something I want to try and use next time I make a storyboard. Whilst there's an indication of what the background should contain and what not, it lacks detail so as to give the main action the dominant position within the sketch. I really like how the attention of each thumbnail is on the action of the character rather than the detail in the background.

Not only did I choose to look at the storyboards of Disney Pixar's Brave because I'm totally obsessed with the film, but also because I feel that they so beautifully tell the story through the storyboards alone.
