The Art of WALL-E

This book carried a much darker tone. That's because in the movie, planet earth was covered with trash, turning everything brown. The colour palette from the movie was limited to very dark tones. This book wasn't as colourful compared to other Pixar artbooks as a result.

Missing from this book were pastel drawings, the common ingredient found in Pixar artbooks. Ralph Eggleston, pastel artists from Finding Nemo, changed to a different style!

There were lots of concept art, character design and storyboard going around. The style of art was also noticeably different. Probably because movie set frames were drawn on computer, which still looked great, but felt different from painting on traditional media.

All in all, this was another marvelous artbook to collect for any Pixar fan.

If you're interested in artbooks, there's a list of books reviewed, with some pictures, on my blog, with pictures and flipping-pages video.
