Storyboard Illustration with Procreate

Start the course by getting to know your teacher, Davis Lisboa. Learn about his professional career as a storyboard artist and where he draws inspiration from before going through the basic structure of a storyboard.

Davis explains the differences between a film storyboard and an advertising storyboard, showing you different image proportions like the Fibonacci Spiral and the pentagram. Discover the elements used to build a narrative for film in your storyboard, such as frames, positioning, angles, movement, and camera angles.

Begin sketching your final project in the next unit. Learn the importance of visually interpreting a script by creating a storyboard from a script written by Davis himself, “Persecución en Venecia”.

Carry on by doing some image research and learn how to create a moodboard. Create basic digital compositions, or screencasts, in Photoshop using the references you collected in the last unit.

Next, it’s time to get to work with Procreate! Davis shows you his favorite layers and brushes. Create the outlines for your storyboard and then add colors, applying the concepts you previously learned to your storyboard.

To finish the course, learn how to export your work from Procreate to Photoshop and see how to make the finishing touches for the final edit of your project.
