ABSTRACT

Many Disney layout and storyboard artists use blue or black charcoal for their drawings. Mark Moore of ILM uses blue pencil first and then markers; he then copies the art and finishes with other markers, white pencil, and white-out. Others use different media, depending on the type of project they’re working on. Chris Allard uses pencil if he’s doing humorous work, “to keep the energy alive,” as he puts it, or he uses ink for dramatic boards to get the shadows.
