[su_dropcap style=”simple” size=”4″]W[/su_dropcap]hat would give the storyboard you create more of that “bite”? What would make it a really good—no, slash that—a really badass, killer of a storyboard? Here are some of our tips!
- Draw out of the box
We mean this literally—let some of your lines cross the border of the box! As much as we’ve said a storyboard looks like a manga, it’s now time to remember that it’s actually not. The manga is the end product, while a storyboard is a step towards the end product. This means the storyboard doesn’t have to have the same level of polish and finish as artwork in a comic. The drawing of your storyboard serves to suggest the larger environment (that’s bigger than the box of the sketch) and what is unseen around the scene. Your strokes don’t have to be stifled in the box, let it “breathe” more, suggest more. You can always clean it up at the end.
