That is interesting. Did they do everything digital in this film, from a to z? The Storyboards, the concept art, it's all done on the computer now.

Eh? I see a few chalk drawings in there.

Unless that's Painter again! Who can tell nowadays? :D

I just picked up the Art of Ratatouille book, it's really inspiring! Though a ton of concept art was done digitally, not ALL of the concept art was done on computers. Maquettes were still sculpted in clay, and there are plenty of hand-drawn sketches that are dated early as 2001. Storyboards are most likely a combo of hand drawings and tablet sketches before they were brought into a storyboarding/editing prog. There are some cool digital paint-overs of some of the maquettes in the book too. Definitely check it out!

^^^Yeah there's plenty of analog art in the book. I absolutly loved all of the lighting tests where they digitally painted over 3d renders. I'd never thought about trying that before, and they look fantastic. In fact, if I remember correctly the Gusteau's Kitchen paintings, "Linguini and Colette", and the very bottom "Ratatouille" paintings were done this way.

The art for that is gorgeous. I'm definatly buying that book.
Thanks for the link.
