Introduction Guide To Storyboarding

Did you know that almost every film, commercial and some websites start out with a storyboard? It’s true and that’s why the storyboard artist is in such high demand! The fact is, anything that tells a story can be storyboarded… and there is no better way to initially visualize a production than to create a storyboard. That’s why almost every major film and TV show starts out as stick figures in frames!

In this course, designed by storyboard artist Siobhan Twomey, you learn everything you need to know to get started in this intensely creative profession. From basic concepts to more advanced drawing techniques, you get it all. You learn about the different types of storyboards and the basics of visual language. Siobhan then demonstrates the power of perspective and shot composition to add drama to a frame.

Next up are some great tutorials on drawing techniques where you learn how to draw simple, yet emotive characters that effectively show the feelings of the story with just a couple of strokes of the pen!

So sit back and watch as Siobhan “draws” you into her world and creates awesome storyboards right before your eyes!
