How To Finish

How to Finish

I drew this poster for Jon Acuff and his FINISH book tour. Big thanks to Jon for this collaboration, his book has some great ideas about how to complete creative and life goals.

I don’t do tutorials usually, but I get asked about this a lot! I don’t think many people have thought of it.

Discourage art theft in fandom in 2020. Don't fucking post other people's art to your social media without permission, or at the absolute least credit. Don't let other people do the same. 'I found it on Google', 'all art belongs to its respective owners', or 'I found it on pinterest' is not sufficient. It's 2020. Please do better.

ABOUT

There are many others who want to learn action storyboards and to build a career based on it. But there aren’t many classes that teach you this kind of storyboarding. This workshop is for those of you who are pursuing a storyboard career in the animation industry. Those who want to strengthen basic storyboarding techniques. Those who are art students. Those who want to work in action-adventure shows. Especially those who live far away from the Hollywood animation industry and have struggled to find an opportunity to learn.

Students will receive a website link to view and watch the workshop lecture, and an exercise based on the topic shared from the workshop, sharpen basic technical skills and tackle challenging story sequences like a conversation in drama, 1-on-1 martial arts fights, chases, large-scale action montages and more. The students will have access to rewatch the lecture videos for 1 year.

Each week during the workshop, the students will have the assignment to do, and they will receive a critique video based on their assignments.
