There is something about storyboarding that my brain enjoys greatly! I recently visited an “Arcane” exhibition and was pleasantly surprised to see a lot of boards and thumbnails some of which were in physical mediums like pen or pencil! That was so exciting to look at as I am a big fan of traditional mediums.
It was insightful to follow through the artists’ process and have an authentic behind the scenes view to such a popular project. It seemed they truly had the artistic and painterly feel of the series as a priority even in all the way back in pre-production.
Another source of inspiration and information when talking about visual storytelling planning and composition is the book: “Framed Ink” by Marcos Mateu-Mestre. I find the advice in this book is clear and easy to follow while still being extensive. It has to be one of my favourite “art learning” books!
Storyboard Artist is definitely a potential role that I am interested in and am actively looking out for job opportunities for.
