A Couple Snippets From A Presentation I Gave At School This Past Week On Storyboarding!!

Title card reading: [Storyboarding Basics. Brought to you by NU Animation Club, March 23 2023]. There is a chibi drawing of Feeb drawing on a CINTIQ

Types of shots: Distance from the camera Close shot: intimacy, emphasis on charater emotion. Example is a close up shot of Gandalf’s face from Fellowship of the Ring. Long shot: grandiose, emphasis on location. Example is a long shot of Legolas, Gimli, and Aragorn arriving at Rohan, visible on a hill in the distance, from the Two Towers. Note: never start with a close shot. Start with as much location as possible to set the stage for your audience

Rule of thirds: Divide the screen into thirds horizontally and vertically. Try and keep focal points (like eyes) where the lines intersect! Incorrect example shows Araluna from Archmage Ascending with her eyes below the top third horizontal line. Correct example shows Araluna from Archmage Ascending with her eyes on the top third horizontal line.

Don’t cut characters off: make sure not to cut off a shot at the characters’ joints. Be especially careful of knees, elbows, hips. Incorrect example shows a shot of Power and Denji posing for the camera. The left side of the frame cuts off at Power’s wrist. The bottom of the frame cuts off at Denji’s ankles. Correct example shows a shot of Power and Denji posing for the camera. The left side of the frame cuts off at Power’s forearm. The bottom of the frame cuts off at Denji’s calves.

What is “shorthand”? Shorthand: a very simplified art style for storybordd that prioritized shape Do: include shape, size, expression Do not: include detail Example is an image of Ryuk from Death Note besides a shorthand drawing of him to scale. These are NOT illustrations / lineart, they are GUIDES!

Perspective & Gridlines: It is NECESSARY to include gridlines to make your perspective clear for the background artist. An incorrect example shows Araluna falling on a blank background. Three correct examples show the same image with gridlines in the background. One shows the gridline as a flat ground. The other shows the gridlone a slanted background in fish eye perspective. The last shows the gridline as a receding wall parallel to the character.

Perspective cheat code: No matter how close characters* are to the camera, the horizontal line will always cross them at the same part of their body. * must be the same height Incorrect example shows the horizon line cross Dokja Kim at his shoulders and Junghyeok Yoo, who is in the background, at his knees. Correct example shows the horizon line cross Dokja Kim and Junghyeok Yoo, who is in the background, at their shoulders.

Perspective tip! Try to avoid having the horizon line run through the middle of the screen. Raising or lowering the the horizon gives your shots a cinematic feel. Incorrect shot of Riza Hawkeye running in a forest has the horizon line crossing the center of the frame. Incorrect shot of Riza Hawkeye running in a forest has the horizon line crossing close to the top of the frame. Incorrect shot of Riza Hawkeye running in a forest has the horizon line crossing close to the bottom of the frame.

a couple snippets from a presentation i gave at school this past week on storyboarding!!

‼️DISCLAIMER: I am still a student and have only worked on student and indie projects! This is just stuff that I personally find helpful as an amateur, so feel free to take it with a grain of salt!

Happy boarding, friends! ✍️💕

Posting on Tumblr honestly isn’t a lot of fun, I’m semi-back but I will only post on IG until further notice.

My ask blog @cupheadchaliceadoption-askblog is still fun though, so I’ll return to answering asks there!

I’m still drawing but I am not really interacting with anyone on Tumblr, maybe I don’t know how this place works but whenever I post my art here there is hardly any interaction and comments don’t get used at all.

Some of you write sweet tags but I can’t reply to them and the fun part about sharing art of my ship/AU is talking about it and that part is almost completely lacking on here while on IG people will come talk to me in dms or comments at least :( I’d love to reply to you but I don’t know how,,

You’re all great and I appreciate your support, no matter how small but I want to focus on IG and my Discord server only for now because I can actually interact with moots there 💙

If you have advice or are a mutual who wants to join my server you can ask and I send you an invite.

I might still post art here but probably more rarely and not all of it, I’m not sure. If you have advice on how to interact better with people on here then that would also help ✨ maybe I just suck at this but I am bad at socialising as is ;-;

Update ig

I don't know what to post at the moment lol

　　　✦　　　.　　. 　 ˚　.　　　　　 . ✦　　　　

I'm somewhat busy now that school has started for me like 3 weeks ago and also busy with other stuff at the point where my motivation is very lazy and tired at the moment—

BUT

I'm working on two or three projects that I might post:

Introduction of my OC (I had it in my mind for so long but didn't really got to draw it-)

Redraw of the traditional drawing of the Cuphead game logo but on digital (Aug 10)

Fanart for the askblog, @/ask-mapletea

Or I might as well draw other things lol

OR OR do some fanart for other askblogs / artists I know >:] (mutuals or other)
