After taking the feedback from my tutors concerning my initial storyboard, I re-drew a second storyboard with a completely new "plot". After completing this storyboard I re-drew each board again directly on the computer whilst applying a few changes and adding a few more frames to extend the ending.
I really created a bit too much work for myself to make the first animatic - first the pencil-sketched storyboard then re-drawn storyboard sketches in open Canvas and THEN I re-traced the lines in Painter IX...I assumed we needed an adequately polished-looking animatic but we didn't...oh well, at least I got a vague bit of practise for the drawing style I want to develop. It's still not quite there...and time is running out...EEK!
