#feboardary 2022

For Feboardary I felt like doing an updated version of my own personal process when it comes to approaching storyboarding.  I use this process when I storyboard for work, and I always prefer to draw my initial thumbnail pass traditionally since it’s easier for me to rework and sketch up ideas. Whenever i bring in my traditional thumbnails in, I always have to resize them for the composition and widen my shot since my thumbnails are almost always shot too close to the camera. My final “clean” boards tend to be a mix of rough/clean mainly for time, and clarity.

@benben8it​  Yup! When I storyboard I tend to board entirely with layer comps within photoshop since I like to flip through my storyboards to see how they play out.  My files tend to get a bit big with a ton of layer comps contained in a single file, but when I approach sequences I divide the sequence into chunks of PSD files so I don’t create a gigantic file or risk losing the entire sequence in one file.  Most of the time I tend to use the timeline window only if I’m creating gifs, but I have yet to utilize the timeline for storyboarding since I do like the ability to move larger chunks of panels around vs. with layer comps where it can become tedious sometimes.

an honest mistake!

26 - Big Reveal

Sado and Finn find out that their fearless leader is a former princess! This is a silly scene I had planned a long time ago but I scrapped because it doesn’t fit in the story canon anymore.

I mentioned that Araluna was royalty in a q&a once so I don’t think this is too spoilery otherwise ;)

25 - Mixed Feelings

When I was fourteen and in the peak of my superhero era, my ocs were these two orphaned brothers: the older one a superhero, the younger one a detective prodigy. When they were much younger, the older brother struck a deal with the city’s hero recruiting agency—joining their forces in exchange for them finding a suitable legal guardian for his younger brother. The younger brother, unaware of the deal, wrestled for years with feelings of abandonment and inadequacy.

“I think about her all the time.”

23 - Dumb and Dumber

Yachi is trying so hard to believe in Hinata and Kageyama’s singular brain cell but they don’t make it easy for her…

(The last panel of @miamitu-illust’s atla post was on the brain when I drew this! Although at the time I didn’t remember the exact wording so I’m sorry for americanizing the units 🤧)

22 - Fresh Start

11-year-old me read Book VI Chapter 5 of Return of the King and just never thought about anything else ever again

Seriously though I always have admired the contrast and parallels between Faramir and Eowyn! The significance of both of them being resilient warriors having known nothing but pain their whole lives—and then having them meet in a place of physical healing and there choose a future of emotional healing and peace is something that can be so!! personal!!
