ABSTRACT
Your characters’ bodies, typical expressions, actions, and emotions will become easier to draw as storyboarding progresses. Surface details will be eliminated or simplifi ed and body shapes will change as you draw the character in diff erent attitudes. Storyboard drawings are the most practical way to see which design elements help and which ones hinder the character’s ability to act. Storyboards are a means to an end. They are not the fi nished art; they represent something you want to see fi nished . The scenes and characters reach fruition when they are animated. A character’s appearance may change dramatically from the original rough design after a few sequences are boarded. You should wind up with an appealing design that you are comfortable working with. A character that easily conveys emotions with its face and body is known as a good actor .
