Instruct - Research (storyboard)

I wanted some tips and tricks on how to make the storyboards. And so I started reading about what other artists do and how they do it,on their blogs etc. I also read a few forums where other students and people that just want to storyboard professionally were talking about how they do it. Mostly it's just start of with soft pencil lines and go over them with a sharper line, then scan it and go over it in Photoshop to clean it up. Depending on the style of the artist, and what they find easier. Some prefer starting with silhouettes and then go from there. Some like to not only sketch it in pencil, but also colour it and make it a perfect illustration.
They all talk about reading and reading the script though. To think through what you're going to draw before you start.

Heres just a few of the links I've used.
