Later chapters get into composition, staging, lighting, and camera angles that help to sell a scene. This book really is a storyboarding course unto itself and it’s well worth the price tag. Beginners can learn pretty much everything they need to get starting by following the advice in this book.
Another factor to consider is your working environment. If you have a dedicated writing space where you can spread out a physical storyboard, then whiteboards, corkboards, or index cards might be suitable. However, if you often write on the go, or don’t have much physical space, a digital tool might be more practical. Some people still like the old-school method though. The use of pen and paper can give you a more intimate feel for the process. It can be a lot slower though, with you having to create everything manually. There’s no precise method to this. Don’t feel bad if you only want to draw a few, and don’t feel overwhelmed when you do more than you thought at first. 3. Draw your frames Also consider adding a short, one-sentence description below each image to explain what’s happening in each scene.

The average novel storyboard has 60 scenes in total: 25% (or 15 scenes) at the beginning, 25% (or 15 scenes) at the end, and 50% (or 30 scenes) in the middle. It’s not a precise science, and don’t feel overwhelmed if you don’t want to draw that many scenes. Instead, use this as a guide and do what works best for you.

Step 2: Creating a ScriptStoryboard artists are really directors, artists, and sometimes writers. This trifecta does not come easy and you need to put in the work to improve. Sometimes the best ideas are born from a group effort, so if you’re co-managing a project or even working on it as a group, you can simply invite your team to collaborate together, in real-time. Did you work on the sketches and did someone else work on the script? Why not share access to your storyboard and complete it together from any location.

A storyboard is a cohesive series of sketched scenes along with a brief description of what’s happening in the scene. We reviewed and refined our storyboard, demonstrating the iterative nature of the storyboarding process. We start by brainstorming ideas around this premise: characters, settings, key events, and themes. We decide on the main character, her mentor, the antagonist, and some secondary characters. We identify the city as the primary setting and decide on a couple of sub-settings like the magician’s home, the mentor’s magical library, and the hidden location of the artifact.

It allows you to lay out your plot points, develop characters, map settings, and observe the pacing and progression of your narrative.

However this book covers more of the technical fundamentals of storyboarding to help you get started on the right path to build professional work.
