Creating Color scripts for your graphic novel

In my OC Art Studios Visual Storytelling Class with Caleb Cleveland, students develop the color scripts for a short story or comic. I took the opportunity to create my first color script for the graphic novel that I'm working on.
I knew that I wanted to have really dramatic lighting and some serious moody colors, so I had a fun time exploring color palettes and applying them to some pivotal emotional beats in the story.
This Pixar in a Box Art of Lighting video is really helpful in explaining how lighting and color is used in a movie and can easily be utilized for creating the same look to your graphic novels. If you want to learn more about painting color and lighting, check out our online interactive course, or our Visual Storytelling course where you can do this very exercise for your own comic project.
