What will you learn?
Comics and Storyboarding
Discover what a storyboard is, why it matters and where it is used. Begin drawing a visual sequence rather than treating each image as an isolated picture.
Explore camera angles and movements, then follow a sequence of scene-drawing demonstrations. Observe continuity, framing and how the drawings communicate the action.
The final exercises colour storyboard panels. You can practise with available traditional drawing tools or compatible digital equipment.
Learning outcomes
- Understand the purpose and uses of storyboards
