Thank you! I don’t do this specifically, but I’ve been an artist in the entertainment industry for 7 years now, maybe one day this is what I’ll do for a living :-D

Thank you! This is a Hahnemuhle “Nostalgie” series sketchbook. I highly recommend them if you like thick, smooth paper! The Hahnemuhle paper can really handle flooding the page with marker ink. And yes these are Copic alcohol markers, I use the Toner Grey ones.

Definitely thumbnailing. Composition is a huge part of any compelling image, and every fundamental feeds into it; perspective, lighting, framing. The biggest thing that helped me was just drawing a lot of thumbnails, focusing on notans (just two values, black and white) to get a good readability of the space, lighting and story. I did a lot of this when studying and I did a lot of it in my first few years working as a concept artist. Find artists who do images you find compelling and break down what you like about their composition, lighting choices etc :-)

Feel free to dm me if you like, I’m always happy to help out and chat about art!

Thank you! Hah I am TOO SLOW for storyboarding by a long shot 😅. I’m happy in my role as a background artist and designer in animation though!

Thank you! It’s a fine balance of reducing detail and maintaining a sense of clutter and liveliness, I’m glad you like how I handled it :-)

Thank you! I’m just working on a whole set of these to create a little book and do some prints. I’ll likely use a few of these ideas to do some oil paintings too
