Greyjoy Design Sketch

 A sketch I made a few months ago as I was starting a new personal project. Here is what I had done for the storyboard.

Even though I didn't end up taking this too far, it proved to be the exact exercise I needed. I love animating, but I look forward to exploring more storyboarding in the future. 

Before I started the storyboard, I started with thumbnails. I explored compositions, story ideas, and possible camera movements. 

My way of learning any skill lies a lot in deconstruction. I like to test different extremes until I reach a balance that makes sense to me. For example, here I tried to prepare very rigidly. Whereas, for my next storyboard exercise, I will attempt to be very loose in my approach. This gives me a much better idea of what works and what doesn't.
