8-Week Mentorship: Creating Professional-Level Storyboard Sequences
Create and Fine-Tune a Sequence from ScratchThis mentorship is designed for artists eager to develop their skills in creating professional-level storyboard sequences. To ensure a consistent skill level in the classroom, applicants must have a solid foundation in drawing. If you're unsure about your skills or haven't taken courses in perspective, figure/character drawing, or sketching, please consider enhancing your basics before enrolling.
Throughout the course, students will work on their own projects and stories, submitting weekly progress for instructor feedback. Live group sessions will focus on visual storytelling and insider industry insights to help you become a better board artist. By the end of the mentorship, students will have two completed storyboard sequences to enhance their portfolios.
