"How I studied storyboarding w/o College!" A THREAD
Disclaimer: This might not work for everyone, This is just how I personally study.
(some community college is included in this though lol)
Some storyboard advice I wish someone gave me when I was first learning. Yes draw quick if possible, but you need to draw CLEAR. You are not going to be as fast as someone with 10 years of experience. Make sure your drawings have form even if you need to slow down.
Hi everyone, here is a small thread on networking. I get asked how I know people/get considered jobs/tests/ect a lot over the past year. I'm not the best at this in anyway but like...I do get asked this a lot lol. This is purely for animation.
the fact that lady gaga just drove through my sister's tiny ass desert town and bought all of their ice and now they just dont have ice dkjlkgjdslkjglxd

I think about this a lot like hatoful boyfriend is really well written and like somehow the birds make sense. It also really understands VN tropes were a lot of western devs don’t. Like hatoful had “bad ends” just like VNs!!! I don’t think any western one has
I’m one of the many workers that has been unemployed for over a year. My health insurance runs out next month! It really sucks! It does not feel like a stable career I can stay in.
Cartoon Network is dead?!?!

Dont retweet- when you see sites like this posting jobs maybe just use it as a jumping off point to apply and don’t apply through their site. They just collect this information and there is no proof they send it into the jobs. Also most WB jobs you apply through email.

I’m feeling rlly iffy about that “unknown artist” tag... the fact that social media warped people into thinking under 10k is a small following is nuts to me. That’s a medium size anime convention. Most concerts only have around 5k in seating.
Now the thread!
This book is the first ever thing I invested in for visual storytelling. I still reference it to this day. It's for comics but composition is composition.

When are we as an industry gonna discuss how internships have a huge economic barrier in front of them :( it makes me sad every year seeing people o follow being in the place I was in being able to not afford college or intern wages but be amazing artists!
I spent a lot of time watching film making youtube channels also. Two of my favorites:
While this doesn't cover storyboarding per say they do go into what makes a great looking film.

First off about me!
Hi I'm Lori, I am new to the professional world of storyboarding but I always knew I wanted to be a visual storyteller in someway (originally I wanted to do comics).
I'm currently looking for my second professional gig.
I literally can't recommend this enough: but watch things that you love and watch a lot of different things. I DON'T JUST WATCH CARTOONS. Some of the best "study pieces" I watched were Edgar Wright movies lol!
Does your community college have an art department? MOST LIKELY THEY HAVE A FIGURE DRAWING CLASS! Figure drawing is great, but the skill you want to take from it is gesture drawing. I ended up taking figure drawing like 8 times bc it gave me access to a model to draw.
Hi guys.... please consider commissioning me or donating orz my laptop screen broke last night..... I just shut it and when I opened it again this happened....lol I’ll probably just end up buying a new laptop.

Commission Form-
My younger followers: This culture started getting popular when I was a teenager and I didn’t feel comfortable doing it and a adult online friend led a harassment campaign against me saying I was hiding stuff. This person ended up being a predator and a criminal. No joke.
Now onto the heavily focused Storyboard Classes:
CONCEPT DESIGN ACADEMY. These classes are pricey, yes, but I promise you will learn a ton. If you think of the price compared to art school they are WAY cheaper.
Something I started doing is when I watch TV animation I count the cuts and follow the screen direction. WITHOUT DRAWING. Then I will go back and rewatch the scene and do small/rough comp studies.
2. A common mistake people do when networking/trying to meet new people is only focus on their art/career success. No one want's to be friends with people who act like that. No one likes to be used. People want to get to know people with similar interests, not just work.
The first trailer for ‘HAILEY’S ON IT’ starring Auli'i Cravalho (Moana) has been released.
The show premieres on June 8 on Disney Channel/XD, the next day on Disney+.
1. What I do with networking isn't to find potential work it's to meet new people in a similar field as me. Animation is a small industry and I want people to now I'm friendly and enjoyable if we do ever work in the future. Which you never know who will be your future co-worker.

i really love this, not a lalaloopsy but a babw worker memory once i was doing a heart ceremony for a little girl and i asked her to make a wish and she stared at me and just said "I dont give a shit"
Hi everyone, I mentioned it last week but Wanda was diagnosed with Lymphoma. I just made a gofundme for Wanda's treatment and medication. Please pass this around and if possible donate. Thank You.
Man something that really confuses me about ai art is that they just ignore the fact a big part of art is the passion/love for making it. Most people who learned these skills didn't learn them to be "better than" anyone, they learned them because they loved to create.
hey everyone I'm doing waist-up ko-fi commissions to recoup the cost of my tires from last month. 8 Ko-fis (24 USD) for no tones and 10 (30 USD) for tones! Please include in the note what you want! Fanart and OCs OK.

ANIMATION GUILD PORTFOLIO REVIEW. The animation guild (the union for animation in LA) does a yearly portfolio review for aspiring story artists. It's free. It's GREAT. Everyone is nice. It normally happened in May.
Go to Production blogs for some of your favorite shows or follow artists from those shows! Chances are in the age of social media they will upload some of their boards and you can see and study how your favorite show works!
Small note: I was in a position that I could take community college classes for basically free. While I know not everyone has that opportunity CC is extremely affordable compared to the other classes I will recommend later.
When I was younger I saw everyone up for the same job as me as a competition but once I realized we were peers everything professionally started working out better. Just saying. You seeing people as competition puts off bad vibes and makes it seem like you are teammate worthy
People finding out I have a midsommar tattoo and I have to explain that it’s not in a girl boss way but in a way that it’s my dead cat Wanda dressed as a cultist
