A bunch of the storyboards from my last few storyboard classes, which thusfar is not quite so much a class on storyboarding technique per say as it is artistic interpretation as used in storyboarding. We've never actually drawn much stuff in tight sequence, or with the same standard of rules, as, say, when I was doing storyboard edits at Porchlight. I can tell that I'm learning something, it's just hard to define what that is.

Either way, considering we were encouraged to be very fast, abstract, and I'm using materials I haven't used in years, expect Not My Usual.


Stuff from the plane crash scene in Castaway. We were supposed to use as many different materials as possible.





And then to copy the style of another artist out of this big book that was passed around.



Stuff from Alfred Hitchcock's Notorious, which I've never seen.







And from the same class, stuff from Kung Fu Hustle, which I've also never seen. I started out using colored pencil, got sick of it, and switched to just plain pencil and making everything more cartoony.





And from yesterday, stuff from the huge Yakuza fight scene from Kill Bill. And for this one, the idea was to try and never take your pen off the page, so the results are kinda funky.



There were a few more panels from Kill Bill, but I didn't like how they came out so I didn't scan them.


Doing this kind of stuff is so weird after just sticking with a rigid comic style all the time. I will say that it gets my fingers itching to draw more and jump-starts inspiration. Maybe doing this kind of free-for-all, near-abstraction, no-purpose drawing is good for the artist psyche. I should try and do it more.

Drawing: *points up*
