Hello I originally posted this in the "Life Drawing, Learing and Techniques" forum but maybe that was the wrong place.
Anyway what I would really like is some help with doing storyboards in Painter and I wondered if any of you guys who do it regularly could answers some questions.
Firstly I would like to know what resolution you tend to work at and secondly how you work with the frames. What I mean is do you do each frame as a separate file or do a number of frames on a digital page?
When I storyboard I normally work with pen/pencils on an A4 (letter) sized sheet with three frames per sheet. This is easy for faxing and photocopy (but v. bad for email!). I'm desperate to get into using Painter - inspired by Mr Milligan of course - but had a few problems when I did my last lot of boards. I ended up doing each as a separate file and then using InDesign to lay them out into sheets. It was not very satifactory - I think it took longer to do the layout than draw the boards!
Any help and advice much appreciated.
