How to train your dragon artwork

This art work is from Dreamworks 'How to Train your Dragon'. I really like the color values they have used to show the amazing environment design. The greens and blues have a very strong contrast that work well together. You can see how they have used light tints to create a focal point within the image.

I really like the rich red colours with the light blues colours of the sky in this image. The image sets the mood of a bright sunny day and gives a rich and lively feeling. The colour values work well in the picture and create that feeling of hope and a positive outlook.

Paranorman Concepts

This is some environment designs from the film Paranorman. The colors used are varied tints and shades of grey with a few hues. It sets the scene well as you can tell it's a foggy dull morning or place. This also helps make the buildings stand out from the background and your eye is automatically drawn to them. This colour scheme appears to work very well with the art style, the sharp angles of the buildings give it a slight creepy feel.

This colour work in this environment looks much more inviting and bright compared to the other two concepts. I wider range of different shades and tints of colours gives the concept more depth and makes it feel homely.

Incredibles Artwork

This is a piece of artwork from Pixar's 'The Incredibles'. I found this very interesting how the shapes and colour scheme defines each character very well and you are able to identify them. They have used a range of  harmonious hues and basic shapes to describe the characters body shapes. I find that red is a very strong colour and stands out from most natural colours or environments. You can see from below how the colours of the super heroes separates them from the background. I also believe that the red colour portrays them as a strong family unit fighting against crime. It may also be seen as a sign of love between the characters.

Kung Fu Panda Concepts

 These are two pieces of art work from Dreamworks 'Kung Fu Panda'. This is a good example of using two hues to create a mood in a scene. These colours give the feeling of a dramatic action or an important part of the movie. I really like the sharp red colours used to describe the light in the scene, it makes a very high contrast between the strong hues.

The colour in this piece helps tell what is happening in the scene. By using a saturated red colour it gives the feeling of war or anger. The art style in my option uses very sharp and pointed line work  that works well with the saturated colour. The art work as a hole does well to tell the mood and story in a single image.

How to train your Dragon Concepts

These are two shots from Dreamworks film 'How to Train your Dragon'. I picked these two because they give good examples of colour to set the mood within a scene. The top image shows the main character in his room. The warm yellow colours from the light give a very inviting feeling. The bottom image sets a romantic feel from the blue colours of the moon light. The blue colours reflect what in happening between to the characters in the scene. Both these scenes make the use of one hue colour to light the scene correctly for the right effect on the audience.

Colour work of Brave

Pixar's brave shows a strong use of saturated color for the main characters hair. Through out the film the main character is made to stand out from the rest of the background colors. Darker blues and greens are used to contrast with the strong ginger color of her hair. This draws the audience attention straight to the character and she becomes the focal point within the framed scene. It's a very clear and cleaver use of color that also reflects the characters courage and spirit during the film.
