Storyboard Sketches - Great American Ink

At Greatamericanink.com we collect many types of artwork, including beautiful, original animation production storyboard sketches. Similar in appearance to draft versions of comics, storyboards outline the characters’ actions and dialogue in successive, but independent panels. As the production of an animated feature film or cartoon evolves, one of the critical first stages is the storyboard. As a canon for the animated production, nothing gets on film unless it’s first well-represented. 

Storyboard animators are often the most experienced, senior artists who can help a director determine the best methods to give a cartoon its humorous or inspirational impact. Storyboards can be pencil sketches or colored panels depending on the director’s desires and precision. To evaluate plotlines, each series of storyboard sketches are usually placed on large boards for the animators to review during story meetings. Because the story panels are “modular,” they can be re-arranged at will to change the story or make it flow more smoothly.


We have especially beautiful collections of storyboard sketches, many in complete sets from their original productions, to present to you. We’d always love talking about animation; why not drop us an e-note at , or call us at 800 552 2847. We’d look forward to hearing from you!
