Guest Artist - Michael Noma

artists statement:

I am an artist who specializes in storyboarding. I generally use pencil and digital inking to draw, and focus on making sure my storyboards have clear visualizations and direction so that anyone in the production pipeline can understand the story and movement I want to convey in my work. I believe that storyboarding is a fascinating and intricate way to convey action and intent to anyone, and can help bridge the gap between fantasies imagined in the mind to the true, finalized creations that animation brings.
