Hehe, I wish you great luck in your endeavors too!

Ironically enough, I still have yet to really put forth more effort in making storyboards, or really trying to tell a ‘story’ through a scene of gestures/drawings. From what I’ve seen though, that’s not necessarily a ‘start’ you have to make when it comes to wanting to be a storyboarder.

Life/gesture drawing especially is the way to start. Before you try to put yourself in a position where you want to tell stories through drawings, you have to work on portraying expression through character poses/postures alone after all. :) Facial expressions too are a way to go as well.

Ironically this is something I’ve been slacking up on lately with my anatomy (observational drawings and all) and I need to work on it, but the lessons I’ve taught myself with doing it initially have helped me in bettering my poses with characters and really conveying emotions (at least I think so).

I want to emphasize too I’m not speaking on behalf of people that happen to be in a storyboard position, since (again) I myself am not one, and I don’t know the process that goes with landing a job as one. But from what I’ve seen, work on conveying expressions and emotions through characters in still images alone as a start. Then work your way up to doing more.

… And of course, as is the typical (but true and crucial) artist tip; practice practice practice!!
