Sketchbook Male Gesture 14

An image from the Hawaiian model series. Aka: I’ve got a lot of good gestures lying around all of the same guy.

This one had a mishap with the scanner. I didn’t realize until later. I wonder what that says about my line work?

Wobbly legs.

Apparently I missed one. Oops.

Sketchbook Male Gesture 13

I’ve got a lot of good gestures lying around all of the same guy.

I think this drawing got out of order. This sketch is a bit older and of a shorter drawing duration.

Practice in Animation Storyboards – The Next Scene 13

AKA: The Layout Special

Scene one is here and scene two now has a home here.

I have a confession to make. When I do “camera moves” for my storyboards, I skip a step and go straight to workbook — is that phrase in use anymore? — or even to some sort of preliminary layout stage.

I used to (and sometime still do) tell people I’m a storyboard artist, but I’m much more interested in how every stage of production fits together to create the final whole; divisions between storyboards, layout, or even editorial can be a bit fluid with that mindset.

Only after drawing something like this workbook/layout/whatever would I break it down into sequential panels to imply camera moves (in this case a combination truck-out and pan up.)
