The ultimate guide to visual storytelling! How to make the audience
""feel"" the story while they are ""reading"" the story. Using his
experiences from working in the comic book industry, movie studios and
teaching, Marcos introduces the reader to a step-by-step system that
will create the most successful storyboards and graphics for the best
visual communication.
After a brief discussion on narrative art, Marcos introduces us to
drawing and composing a single image, to composing steady shots to
drawing to compose for continuity between all the shots. These lessons
are then applied to three diverse story lines - a train accident, a
cowboy tale and bikers approaching a mysterious house.
In addition to setting up the shots, he also explains and illustrates
visual character development, emotive stances and expressions along with
development of the environmental setting to fully develop the visual
narrative.
