When storyboarding evolves?
Posted 16th March 2010 at 04:59 PM by Talysia
I've been storyboarding for a while; sketching scenes that I haven't written yet so that I can remember them better later on, only to stall with the writing and enjoy the actual drawing more.
So now I've started to wonder if I shouldn't translate some of my stories into a graphic novel format. I've always wanted to try my hand at something like that, but always lacked the confidence in my ability. Now, however, I'm seriously thinking about giving it a go.
Now the only decision I need is whether to try something small and comic or for something bigger.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to hone your craft with something small and comic first, before deciding if you want to do something more ambitious?
Do you do your storyboarding on paper or screen?Posted 16th March 2010 at 09:57 PM by HareBrain

Thanks, Stormfeather.
On reflection, Harebrain, that's probably a good idea; start out small and work up to bigger things. I just need a theme (all of my story ideas have been lengthy). That'll come, I'm sure.
I do my storyboarding on paper, as I'm borrowing a computer at the moment - my old one succumbed to old age.Posted 17th March 2010 at 12:14 AM by Talysia -
Wow. Cool idea, Taly. And since you have the talent, I definitely think you should give it a go. I used to draw comics as a kid, but I gave it up because I'm a terrible artist. Like, really terrible.
But I'd love to be able to draw. The sketches you've uploaded here are awesome. Let me know how you get on with it!

I've been sketching a bit, trying out different types of comic - one fantasy, one a comedic sci-fi amalgam, one based on a joke I heard a while ago... that sort of thing, but I'm thinking the sci-fi one might have a bit of scope. I just need to ink the first sketch, and I'll post it up in one of my albums.Posted 6th April 2010 at 03:11 PM by Talysia
