    I hate getting yelled at for drawing. I stopped doing it, and my art motivation and skills practically died. I started to do it again, and thr flow finally came back to me. I can pay attention and doodle, or do it on free time

    Hey Patrick, I am an illustrator at Indiana Wesleyan University in Marion IN. I have a heart for storyboarding! Would it be possible to get an audience with you over the phone and receive some great ideas and understanding of a great master of storyboarding such as yourself?

    Storyboarding is hard work enough…and that's why I'm even more appreciative of the artists in the old days of hand-drawn animations.

    1:13 Looks like he sets his layer comps as thumbnails at the bottom. How do you do that?

    I feel inspired and encouraged to chase after my dream of being a storyboard artist 🙂 Right now im studying animation and feeling a bit discouraged because Ive been to focus on the things I wasnt good at rather than the one thing I was great at 🙂 creating wacky stories! Thank you so much! 😀

    Is graduate school involved?
    Where did Patrick go to school?
    This is great. I do storyboards for local films. Seeing this makes me want to be bigger than just local!
