Unit 04- Storyboard- Thumbnails and Basic Layout

I know , I haven't updated much in these last couple of days, but is that I have been busy drawing out the storyboard. I can say I finally finished the basic layout, meaning the outline in which I will take to Photoshop and just shade to create a more dynamic and 3d drawing.
These are the drawings, I did so far, I can say some of them in at least 1 shot will be repeated. ( the one in which the beautician is "measuring" the customers head.)












Here the rough thumbnails that served as study for the scenes.
