I had a director tell me that I was lucky to be working in this industry and that I would never become a good storyboard artist. He got fired from 4 jobs this year and I'm a supervisor.
Friendly reminder not to take all critique as absolute fact or the end-all-be-all. I had an AD say my designs were flat, lifeless & lacking dynamic acting. Within the same month I got hired onto DC Super Hero Girls. Take it all with a grain of salt.💖✌️
Executives at Hasbro said My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic was going to flop because "Girls will watch a boy's show, but boys will not watch a girl's show"

I quickly scribbled together some basic storyboarding shot terminology!! I remember when I first started, random words would be thrown at me and I was too dumb and too scared to ask for clarification lol
Having trouble drawing the underside of a boot? How about a werewolf riding a motorcycle making flapjacks in a 3/4 down shot? I recommend !! It's a library of 3D models that can be moved around for ref!!
REFERENCE REFERENCE REFERENCE! I can't tell you how many times my brain has stopped working trying to plan out a sequence so I go to a lot for inspo and ref!!!
Okay, so (main character) does a somersault into the scene and then spin kicks (bad guy
#3
). How in the heck do I draw that??? is a library of actions shot frame by frame. Great for artists and nailing down the physics of an action!
Sometimes you wanna up the DRAMA 🎭 and turn your board into a cinematic masterpiece, but you need inspiration and you don't have time to watch every oscar winning movie ever is a really cool gallery to look at for inspo/ref!
Might add to this list later, but basically I just wanted to share some stuff that's helped me, a complete moron, trick people into thinking I'm a barely competent board artist 😂😋
The show I worked on for a year is finally available on Amazon Prime! It turned out so good and I love the other artists who've become my panda family! ❤️🐼
