Stanley Kubrick: Sketches

In order to explain his vision to his collaborators, Stanley Kubrick used to draw sketches to illustrate his ideas. In some cases he would get these converted into storyboards, which were especially important for special effects films such as 2001. In many cases, Kubrick would draw directly onto photographs, which we will show later. Notice in these sketches how it is rendered simply, but effectively in the final shot. These sketches are from SPARTACUS.
