Remember: storyboarding is equal parts understanding cinematography AND drawing skill! Follow these three steps to be a great candidate for this field:

1. Hone your drawing skill by practicing, practicing, practicing. Draw from life when you can. Practice different styles (fan art is great for this!) Train your eye and your hand to draw fast and gestural, while still communicating what you’re drawing clearly.

2. Learn perspective! At least two point. I cannot stress how important this is. Drawing skill is useless without this foundation, and we will look for accurate perspective in your portfolios. There are many tutorials on youtube!

3. Read the above books and understand the art of storytelling through film. Learn the dos and don’ts of cinematography. Watch your favorite shows and movies and take notice of these practices in action.
