I'm a student putting together a storyboard portfolio to show to animation studios. What types of sequences do studios like to see?

I’m gonna be honest, every studio is different. I’ve had reviews from people who work in the same studios, back to back, each asking for completely different things. Generally, it’s about what your passion is. Are you a comedy boarder? Action? Drama? Play up your strengths. Don’t flipflop to match what one particular studio wants. If they see the quality and vision in your work, they’re going to want you regardless of whether or not it fits their current projects. You’re an investment. When they look at you and see what you can do, they’re not thinking “OH wow, they’re perfect for what we’re doing RIGHT NOW”, because often times what they’re doing currently means it’s too late to bring you on. They’re going to be thinking “OH wow, they’re perfect for that project that’s JUST starting to gain traction.”So, aside from just doing what you love and playing up your strengths, think about presentation. It’s a matter of A) Presenting your boards in a grid format (say 4x3), or B) as a Clickthru. Clickthrus, in my experience, get the best reception. It allows the reviewer to take in each image one at a time, and see the connection between the panels.Generally, I’ve had TV folk tell me they are fine with Grid format, and Film folk ONLY want Clickthru. This is not a rule, by any means, but maybe it’ll help you depending on where you’re looking to apply.

Good luck!

This is a similar process to how I do grass in Photoshop.

Pixel Art Tutorial

Note: This tutorial was created in 2007 for my personal website. Some small tweaks have been made since then, but nothing too significant. In this 10-step tutorial, I’ll teach you how to create a “sprite”, which is a stand-alone two-dimensional character or object. The term comes from video games, of course.

Creating pixel art is a skill I picked up because I needed graphics for my games. After a lot of practice, I became kinda handy with it, and started to see it more as actual art rather than just a tool. These days, pixel art is quite popular in game development and illustration.

This pixel tutorial was created many years ago to teach people the basic concepts behind pixel art, but I’ve streamlined it a lot since its first incarnation. There are other pixel tutorials around, but I find them to be overly-complicated and too wordy. Pixel art is not a science. You should never have to calculate a vector when doing pixel art.
