“Every artist always wonders if they have what it takes to become a professional. This free course is one of the ways I’m giving back to the community,” said Paez.
In addition, StoryboardArt.org has also just published an informational article to help artists improve their drawing and art skills. Check out The Fundamental Drawing and Art Skills Every Storyboard Artist Needs. It’s a comprehensive tutorial on the skills, tools, techniques, and habits you need to succeed in the industry.
With storyboarding, you are striving to find the right balance between quality and efficiency. Since storyboards are used in the initial stages of developing a project, it’s important that storyboarders can draw boards quickly, while also telling a compelling story that can get made into a commercial, TV show, or film.
The tools you use are just as important as the skills you have as an artist. Learn the tools you should use as a storyboard artist and how they can open up new capabilities to create a great finished storyboard.
A great storyboard artist isn’t just someone who can draw. They also need to understand things like perspective, framing, and composition. In this free course, you will learn the basics of cinematography so you can translate scripts into a visual format.
