Hi Amie! I’m looking to start storyboarding and I wanted to ask you how should I start? I use Clip Studio and I was wondering how to do so like a professional. Thank you!

i always suggest starting by studying your favorite films and shows! watch them alone or with people that are cool with pausing a bunch lol and just roughly draw the shots you see and try to understand why the director chose to shoot them that way. all that matters when it comes to boarding is that your choices are clear and convey your vision, not so much how clean and detailed they are.

my process for actually starting a board project is printing a script, taking blank sheets of paper, or going to a blank canvas on procreate and scribbling out stick figures and ground planes in rectangles to get my rough ideas out there. then i'll go to storyboard pro and actually start boarding.

i've never used csp for storyboarding so i unfortunately cant help you there (i imagine it's similar to boarding on photoshop, but i also have never done that LMAO), but storyboard pro is the industry standard and super easy to use! if you're a student, toom boom gives you a discount or you can pirate it idc lol
