During the Easter Holidays, I did a few drawings and experiments.
This is a drawing of my neighbourhood’s outer area above the Glen. In real life, it doesn’t look impressive, but when you draw it like I have here, it does make for an interesting scene. Particularly the old house to the side. I would have done shading, but I’m still learning, and if I was to do so, I’d have to get a sheet to avoid making it press onto the next page. Furthermore, I had other work to do. Art isn’t something to rush.
And these are the two storyboard experiments I did. I think they’re a vast improvement from previous because I had a cheat sheet to help me with camera movements and a storyboard template to help figure out where the dialog and action notes should go and how a director/animator would make a storyboard.
With these experiments, I feel just about ready to start work on the actual storyboard. The sooner I do so, the sooner I can get down to the real thing.
